Hello Lee. You deserve credit for scouring the newsfeeds to bring us all these interesting stories.
You do a grand job and I thank you for keeping us informed and up-to-date.

I was interested in your 'Basil Brown' story. Yes, he was treated badly by the 'expert arkies' who were sent in to finish the task, and I have a soft spot for him. I once did a blog post on Sutton Hoo and Basil played a major part. You can see it here if interested: https://www.johnwinter.net/jw/2014/07/s ... f-the-dig/

Keep up the good work!

The picture was taken by me and hangs above the place where the Sutton Hoo artefacts (replicas?) are displayed.
I think the originals are at the BM.
