    <David Attenborough Voiceover> "In its natural habitat, the T-Rex quietly stalks the cardboard box on its stomach so its prey doesn't recognise the threat"
    Instantly recognisable to all the archaeologists - today involved taking 3 children under 8 to Knossos.
    Oh look another granite Sekhmet statue . . .
    Fizzy red wine (Bonarda) for our wedding anniversary. Quite fantastic.
    Boats on the saltmarsh.
    Van Gogh's famous Sunflowers, painted in Arles 1888. Although I'm less of a fan of his later work I do like this classic.
    Starry Night, Arles by Vincent van Gogh, painted 1888. This is a more typical van Gogh. I like it because this is what the night looks like without glasses or contact lenses.
    Carpenter's Yard and Laundry in the Hague by Vincent van Gogh. Painted 1882. Inspired by prints of London and Van Gogh's anxiety about poverty and urbanism.
