When nature makes the most of building fabric: a calcified bee hive on a stone slate. I wonder how old it may be!

@Dr_Ammar_Azzouz Great News Ammar! Check Lucy Properties in Jericho, they are very good (worth calling them).

@Dr_Ammar_Azzouz Great News Ammar! Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time leaving and researching in Oxford!

@44orr Great! I’ll have a think. And yes absolutely!

@44orr Nice research! Have you also looked at those that are locally listed or in conservation area appraisals? That kind of features (sign posts are another one) have sometimes not made the National list but are equally significant.

Second, we need to be taking more carbon out of the atmosphere, where we have too much of it, and putting it back into our soils, ecosystems, and fields through nature-based solutions that can take up as much as 37% of the carbon we produce. nature.org/en-us/what-we-…

Jesus Christ statue being taken out of Armenian Cathedral of Lviv, Ukraine, to be stored in a bunker for protection. The last time it was taken out was during WWII.

@Grove_digger Amazing! Had no idea Oxford uni had its own kiln site! Are you going to try burn some limestones ;)?

Site visits this week were a travel back in time with great views; from Charborough Estate and its tower, a 30m high, 1839 concrete folly, to @nationaltrust Hambledon Hill, an Iron Age hill fort.

Christmas at @NTKingstonLacy, what a treat to see Charles Barry’s cupola from the roof!

"Perceptions of women in building conservation have changed. A woman advising men on a building site 35 years ago had less impact than we do today!" An interview with Elizabeth Hirst ACR celebrating 35 years in building and fine art conservation: icon.org.uk/resource/hirst…

Being very lucky to have one of Minton’s original encaustic tile it was so interesting to learn more about its manufacture and the next generation. @Conservators_uk

Significance of the whole of the floor tiles of Houses of Parliament vs significance of one individual tile: a fascinating talk by @InsallArch discussing the rationale behind replacing the original encaustic tiles while keeping each design and rediscovering the technique.

Wonderful diversity of landscapes during site visits in Dorset 🌊🌾🍁🏰

The Heather Viles is such an inspiration! Congratulations @Geodiverse and thank you for mentoring many of us @OxRBL!
