Look! A thing I poured blood, sweat, and tears into! I had to teach myself how to use UE5, Blender, and edit videos to make this educational video for use in schools. Not bad under the circumstances! 😁

Childhood dream ticked! Offically on Time Team! And you can finally see the footage of me where I'm not just in the background 🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=61z50k…

But seriously though, Waterloo Uncovered is amazing project, and it always pops up in my life when I need it most. This years dig helped me just as much as it did the veterans 💚

I'm slowly making my way over to Bluesky, so if I've not followed you yet I'm Tristan-kit.bsky.social (and no I can't figure out how to stop the digging being a hyperlink...)

One of the veterans we supported this year on Waterloo Uncovered is running the London marathon to raise money for the project! 💚 Please consider sharing or donating. Every bit helps. gofund.me/ccaaee3c
