Sutton Hoo Part 2 premieres tonight at 7PM (BST)! In this week’s episode, the Geophys team hunts for the remains of an Anglo-Saxon hall, and a major anomaly could point to Sutton Hoo’s ancient shipping story. ⚓️ Watch with us on YouTube 👇️ youtu.be/ExNijhLqjT4

@MisterCorner We took the last journey of the day one tatie picking week many years ago. Feel the need to do it again looking at that beautiful photo.

Guinevere's Dialect Compendium. Jarp /jarping - knocking the paste eggs together until one cracks. From the Scottish jaup, "to splash or be bespatter a person or thing " ( albeit the idea is to break the shell not splatter the egg! )

@JHCPAL Tid, Mid, Miseray, Carlin, Palm, Paste Egg Day was the rhyme to remember the Sunday order to Easter. Paste Eggs got jarped or rolled in my corner of South Durham 🥚🥚🥚

The great egg debate ...it is clearly Paste rather than Pace in the NE, which delights me. OED says "chiefly northern English & historical"....yes to the former ,no to the latter ! Earliest recorded use 1611. From pasch & pace egg. Origins seemingly Dutch.

@12BBYTHESEASIDE At least I haven’t got one of the cars to ditch 🤣🤭 I probably will see you on bluesky eventually………

@12BBYTHESEASIDE I have really enjoyed your posts and the chats we’ve had on Twitter. You’ve been a lovely Twitter mate over the years. Such a shame that bloke ruined a good thing. Best wishes to you and yours BB 🤗

@goodupnorth Nice one!

whoo....hooo...Kittiwake cam has started again..... Kittiwake Cam durhamwt.com/kittiwake-cam

Thanks @NorthumbrianH2O for polluting the sea……..hasn’t rained for days yet you are reported as discharging. No swim for me this evening 😡 How are they getting away with this @Feargal_Sharkey 😢

@12BBYTHESEASIDE I’m not good with change……..it’ll take me a year to um and ah about it 😂 I might try a little paddle 🤗

Walked from Vane Tempest car park towards Ryhope this afternoon. I knew the hole had gone…….but it’s the law to take a photo 🥹 ⁦@12BBYTHESEASIDE⁩

@seatsixtyone The livery was great but we were all very taken with the hi viz!

…but you have no idea how childishly disappointed I am to see the train marked thus 😭👇🏻

The day continues with the 15:10 EuroCity from Milan to Domodossola (it’s final destination is Basel)

@michelle_37 How lucky was that………I’m going to put the lottery on just in case 😂

@ClartyFeet That is huge, not jealous at all 🤣

Made sure I stuffed a bit more in my rubbish bag after spotting this beauty 😁 We were just grumbling about all the sea glass collectors digging the beach up! I only ever take home bits that I see as I figure they want to come home with me 😁 #Seaham #Seaglass

@timdredge1 I’m not impressed by people going fully tooled up. Like the fossil hunters that go armed with chisels and power tools. I prefer to find things with my eyes! Way more sustainable!

@seatsixtyone No where near as funny!
