Spotted a mark, or indentation in the wall of a house on the High Street, Navenby. Had to drop to my knees to see it properly... Totally worth it!
Consider me charmed.

Thanks for all the Rts & 💚s have a great weekend everyone 😊☕️

Carved just for the fun of it & they don’t take forever 😊

Viking-age leather shoes excavated at Coppergate, York.

Remarkably well-preserved for more than a 1000 years, they wouldn’t look too out of place if worn today! 🤩

The first recorded strike in history took place 3,178 years ago!

The ‘Strike Papyrus’ records that tomb workers of Ramesses III at Deir el-Medina in Egypt, downed their tools over pay and conditions in 1155 BC.
