I've got a lot of thoughts and words on this, but I'm going on fieldwork next week and my brain is currently full of gravel so they'll have to wait. I'll post a link somewhere once it gets approved on the Durham e-theses site for those who are interested in reading it.

The masters was between Durham Geography and Department of Archaeology, Durham supervised by Dave Bridgland and Mark White, with Paul Pettitt and Simon Lewis examining it.

Thankyou to everyone who was part of the journey 💛

August in a word: busy.

I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that thrives on this, but that's only possible because I have a wonderful support network and a beautifully stable home to come back to. It's a very new experience, but one that I'm continously surprised and delighted by.

So many new experiences this month, new Quaternary friends of all ages, unexpected surprise sites/research, and a play that made me want to cry with how it touched my soul.

September is looking busy too, but I can't wait.

I feel like a hermit crab out of its shell, but learning to embrace that (and the silly warmth that was July) and my love and group chats and artsy friends being a social lifeline dragging me through the overwhelm. And it being ok to be a bit lost and unsure, even when it looks like things are going well from the outside.

No audio on this one so you can hear the sea.

Work in progress on the most adorable orb, where I get to play with colours and try to overcome the fear of posting something when it's not finished or polished or perfect.

This is part of a zero pressure art swap with Holly Jenkins (I am very grateful for the zero pressure part because I am very busy and overwhelmed a lot of the time, and this makes creating a joy rather than a drain).

Acrylic paint on canvas.

Maja gave me an A6 sketchbook when we were in Prague last week, and it became a no-pressure place to scribble using a minimal toolkit. This is to remind me that I'm allowed to figure stuff out as I go 💛

Peaceful midnight thoughts as I prepare for life to get real busy again.

Disclaimer for those excited that Lola and Beans have got a cute canine sibling: the puppy isn't ours - he belongs to family, and is very loved by everyone around him ❤️

We've (finally!) published the write-up of the FLuvial Archives Group (FLAG) meeting in the Quaternary Newsletter of the Quaternary Research Association 🎉

In the article you can find details of the conference itself along with the fab field trip. Definitely given us a lot to live up to for FLAG 2027!
