I got very jealous of @helengeake.bsky.social in this week's @timeteam.bsky.social podcast. She's been to Sir Tony Robinson's book launch!

Also, Lawrence explores a forgotten abbey near the Cerne Abbas giant and Matt's on site near a huge abandonded Roman city.

Spent the day sweltering in some reeds at Flag Fen to record this edition of the Time Team podcast with @helengeake.bsky.social.

A great episode featuring roundhouse fires, Sutton Hoo ships and the Bayeux Tapestry.

I grew up watching the exciting archaeological exploits of Time Team, so it was an enormous pleasure to pop up in their latest video to discuss what the English language tells us about our past. Do give it a watch.

This is one of my favourite episodes.

All Smiths, Wrights, Tailors, Carpenters and Butchers take note.

And everyone else, just enjoy the onslaught of nerdy facts about our names for jobs and trades.
