The #Carlisle Roman excavation has now been backfilled for this session but hopefully funds will be raised to continue the dig soon. It was slightly damper than we would have liked but the finds were amazing. I’ll put together a full excavation video over the next month

In Kendal today and the river Kent is running high after continuous heavy rain #CumbrianSummertime

I know some are desperate for rain but it’s unrelenting here in Cumbria, November has arrived. I’m worn down and need to move one day from this almost constant wet.

A hudd used at burials in the Georgian period so the priest wouldn’t get his wig and prayer book wet at the graveside, St Georges Church Romney Marsh #Kent

It’s been a fun hot day, time for a wonky pint, Cheers #Ashdownforest

I finally got to see Mad Jack Fullers pyramid in East Sussex on a day as hot as Egypt.

Cheers. A warm day in Canterbury time for a pint

Dover hides its Roman heritage well

I swapped mud for the sunny location of the spiritual home of the pork pie today.

Does anyone know if @EnglishHeritage are supporting their iPhone app anymore? Can’t find it I the store and mine has stopped functioning.

We’ve had all sorts of weather thrown at us over the last few weeks but the team have worked on and their faces show what a great experience it is to uncover the past on the edge of Empire #Carlisle #Archaeology #RomanBritain

A muddy day with plenty of rain but the dig continued with some nice finds including Samian pottery, a bone hairpin and more amphora with the makers finger marks #Carlisle #archaeology #hadrianswall #RomanBritain

A rain/sun shade has gone up on site by our crack technicians #Archaeology #Carlisle

The drizzle turned to a torrent by the end of the day but some lovely finds included a bone pin and mortaria spout. #Carlisle #Archaeology

No heatwave in Cumbria #Carlisle #Archaeology

Some nice window glass corners out from the trench and the plunge pool is slowly being revealed along with fallen wall plaster. What history will be excavated today #carlisle #archaeology #HadriansWall #diggingforbritain

A nice chunk of amphora fragment which has been inscribed, found during the #Carlisle Roman excavation

Looks like I’ll be applying for my 4th delay payment on the train in 6 days, why are UK so crap and hideously overpriced.

A rather damp day yesterday in Cumbria, no heatwave here but some great Roman archaeology #Carlisle #hadrianswall
