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

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-do/…
14th century Fiddleford Manor and Sturminster Newton Mill; bucolic and appropriately historic decors for finally gathering the south-west conservation officers @DorsetCouncilUK and @HistoricEngland inspectors.

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-c…
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.
There's still time to book your ticket for @H_IntGroup's Tuesday talk on the restoration of the Palace of Westminster @UKParliament encaustic tile floors: icon.org.uk/events/historic-…
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
The Heather Viles is such an inspiration! Congratulations @Geodiverse and thank you for mentoring many of us @OxRBL!

#COP26
I’ve had the chance to go on the top of #BigBen and see gilding done by @ClivedenConserv on the very top of the tower. Very much looking forward to hearing about the whole project.
Join us for @UKParliament talks series: The people behind #BigBen. Our #conservators will describe their journey from removing historic paint layers, discovering the original decorative schemes to redecorating & gilding the iconic clock faces. ukparliament.seetickets.com/…
