What might the Ancients have made of these ‘portents’ in the sky?

Archaeology In Action….
Not Orkney – but for all we know the folk from this area might have come to the Ness of Brodgar for a ‘pilgrimage’….

Clever re-cycling ideas for making big sieves!
Re. pilgrims/visitors…..

'Some Things Never Change'....
I used to fling bread at ducks
with stubby little boy arms
not yet skilled at throwing
While I liked avian attention
I didn't want them too close
with their loud harsh quacks
The duck pond in my hometown park
had a little island that wasn't
but it's how I learned the words
isthmus and peninsula
Squatting on the shore
heaving bread into water
with my parents on the "mainland"
I felt the twinge of independence
glad they weren't too close
still wanting them to watch
But anxious about being left behind
The man steps away from the child – but the child stays with the man …thank goodness.
Another little window on humanity.
