Archeology and bird boxes

We all watched a lovely film this evening. It’s called “The Dig” and it’s based on the true story of the discovery of the Sutton Hoo burial ship and treasure. It has a star-studded and excellent cast including Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan, and it has everything you could wish for - history and archeology and treasure and friendship and romance and sadness and war and happiness. It was great. All credit to James for choosing it. At the end Cat said that she was emotionally exhausted and so was I! We had to play a couple of rounds of University Challenge to recover our equilibrium. 
In other news, James was given a bird box camera by Ally and Cat for Christmas, for the bird boxes that he has recently made. He was delighted with this, and has especially installed an internet booster that can reach the top of the garden, so that hopefully in the springtime we will be able to watch baby birds hatching and being fed inside the bird box.
