Amazing and fascinating evening at Ankerwycke yesterday with the archaeological team and Toby who is clearly a well trained dig-dog! They've now mapped the C12 nunnery and the C16 Tudor manor house which was built after dissolution. Prof Alice Roberts was filming there earlier in the day so fingers crossed for something on Digging for Britain in the autumn.

The lads of Rescue 117, the Waterford based Irish Coastguard SAR helicopter have been safety training to support Santa's delivery flight. They have just now tracked Santa crossing the Irish coast... Rudolphs nose is glowing brightly!

Scout and Guide Christingle service at St. Peter's Church Chertsey. The kids seemed to have a great time. View from gallery cos I was doing the AV.

The switchon of Chertsey 's lights on Friday including a visit by a highly illuminated Claus and .

At St Clement Danes in yesterday. Ringing with the Guild of Ringers . A really lovely ring of ten bells.

How do you like the graffiti on the walls of the ringing chamber of St Vedast, Foster Lane in London? Most of it dates from the 1700s. Vedast was a Frankish Bishop of Arras in the 6th Century.

Outside the bell tower door at St Magnus the Martyr church in is this big chunk of Roman wharf timber dating back to 75 AD which they found in 1931. Amazing thing!

Loved this picture on the front of Museum's Annual report. It was drawn by James Parsons for a " Links" exhibition held there recently. The rhyme was written by Edward . I never knew there was so much fascinating in the subsoil 😂

This was my IT son's response to my going onto Mastodon. Clearly out-geeked by his IT dad 😂

My technical explanation of federated instances didn't help my case 🤭🤓
