My abiding interest and passion for the last 40 years has been archaeology, especially landscape archaeology and history. I did a degree in it when I retired.
But I could have done this from Day 1. In the Sixth form. we had a temporary geography teacher. Anew graduate, whose specialism was historical geography. For end-of-term relaxations she had us looking at place name elements and what the ditribution ofthem on some areas told you about settlement, farming and geology. I was totally fascinated. If she had talked more about what and where she was at universoty, I would have followed in her footsteps, but she was 21, didn't want anyone knowing she was a 'schoolmarm', she was only doing it for a year, and talked very little about the possibilities.
So I went somewhere else and got a degree in economics and have never had any reason to regret it, but, but, but - there is always that nagging regret.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
