My latest book is out! A Materiality of Internment examines the objects and artwork made in camps in WWII Germany by civilian internees and how we can interpret their experiences through those objects. ⁦@routledgebooks⁩ ⁦@Catz_Cambridge⁩ #ConflictArchaeology

So having had no takers for my Falmouth weekend. I’ve decided, to pay it forward. If ANY POLICE involved in the riots, can get time off and want a getaway…then I would love to gift you a fully paid, double room, in dog friendly Greenbank hotel in the center of Falmouth this weekend. It’s Falmouth week so lots going on and the hotel is amazing! If any of my police followers can share amongst their network, particularly area south that would be greatly appreciated! 🙏@PC_ResponseCop @Brick_Cop @Sandford_Police @CopMoustache @HantsPolice @Ex_arv_sgt

For everyone who prefers to hold a book in their hands rather than reading long texts online (that’s most of us then), the latest word for a generation on what happened in Alderney during the occupation can be purchased online @blueormer ; all profits to charity. Link 👇

An appeal for relatives is a search to locate the next of kin for the fallen in the two world wars. Could you be connected to any of these individuals? cwgc.org/our-work/news/appea…

4 years ago today I tried to end my life. 😞4 years of highs, lows, recovery and reset. Would I swap a single day of that. Absolutely NOT. It’s sent me on a different trajectory. I’m so lucky 🍀to be here, to feel loved by the world ❤️And that’s just it. Even if u feel alone, all you have to do, as I do frequently now, is open your mouth and TALK. 🗣️Just talk. Then i promise you the world 🌎will catch u. It needs you in its universe. 💫 Like one big jigsaw puzzle, Ur piece matters. 🧩 U MATTER. #mentalhealthawareness #suicideawarness

Unbelievable. Literally so sick of my daughter’s so called ‘friends’ leaving her out. As if she hasn’t been through enough in recent years. Much as I will miss her terribly, I also can’t wait for her to start uni and find her tribe - real friends who will always have her back…

Desperately sad news. Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context. Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them. Having spent many hours behind the scenes in this one, poring over skeletal collections at National Museum Wales, working with archaeologists there, my heart is riven by this sad news. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj7m…
