Country diary: To the old quarry, for a Triassic quest | Jennifer Jones Storeton Wood, Wirral: Two centuries ago, this area teemed with workmen busying building Liverpool; more than 200m years ago very different creatures roamed here

Oh this is delightful from @jensoilandpen.bsky.social and zooms me back to my beloved #Wirral homelands and views of the Welsh Hills from my childhood bedroom in #Moreton. Never been to Storeton Wood but will now! #CountryDiary #Wirral

This piece by @steverose7.bsky.social is excellent - I've learned SO much - and will W be the new BlueSky, will we all move there next ....
And I'll defo be trying LibreOffice, being such a spreadsheet geek!
