Good & bad news in the #NorthWest:

Good: optimism about the future of #Barrow is in full effect, with #BAE's full order book offering the town 30yrs of work building submarines.... and as you can see their #productivity is on the way up (while they still hope to attract more #workers to the 'longest cul-de-sac in the country).

Bad: unlike Barrow, the rest of the North West is seeing further declines in productivity. For anyone hoping to move away from the #defence, this is not good news.

Howe’s Hill is a rare remnant of Norfolk’s ancient landscape, a #Neolithic oval barrow with a Bronze Age round #barrow constructed on top.

A first-time participant in the market #barrow competition picked up Grand Champion honors at the 121st #Missouri State Fair (#MSF121 ). Renee Conklin of #Hallsville showed the 277-pound light crossbred, after having shown gilts the past four years and horses before that.

Zugegeben, es ist nicht immer leicht einzuschätzen, ob solchen Worten Taten folgen.
Andererseits würde ich die Erklärung von #Ecowas nicht auf die leichte Schulter nehmen. Als sich der Diktator von #Gambia, #Jammeh, #2016 nach einer verlorenen Wahl weigerte, zurückzutreten, maschierte Ecowas dort ein und brachte den Wahlsieger #Barrow an die Macht. #Niger #Afrika

I've been doing quite a bit of waterway mapping recently and discovered this 25m long shipwreck in the #Barrow yesterday. Reported it to the National Monument Service today. Mapped as seamark:type=wreck on #OpenStreetMap

Barrow is the town next to the Walney colony, although this is most likely one of the town's urban breeders.

Excited to be off to an Ecological Radio Workshop today in #Barrow

I'm interested in the idea of building streamboxes and hiding them in 'private' land, enclosed commons. You might 'own' the land but you certainly don't own the sound

In 1668, Isaac Barrow, Isaac Newton’s teacher, proved the fundamental theorem of calculus. #Poetry #Science #History #Calculus #Barrow #Newton (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1668c.html)

Ooops, almost forgot today's 10yr retrospective.

On this day 2013, 19th March, we visited Stonehenge in the fog, which turned out to actually be pretty good really because you couldn't see the fence or highway beyond.

We then drove north, and saw the White Horse, and then on a whim, the West Kennet Long Barrow.

Overall, a fairly pre-historic day.
