- I am retired from 45 years working in book & music publishing, and now as a retirement treat I am a part time mature student.
- I am currently studying modules which relate to the early Medieval period when the monastery of Lindisfarne was so important, I have a particular interest in Anglo-Saxon and Caroliginian history so this dig is ideal for me and it is a very worthy excavation with great potential. I also need to build up my excavation days as I need to have completed 20 by the end of my BA course. I have been on field school at Must Farm in Cambridgeshire last summer so I have boots, trowel etc!
