What has to be done, has to be done now

The Penultimate Friday

What happened on this Friday all those years ago?

Murkier and murkier

It's not so much the archaeology

Although that could do with bit of clarification 

It's everything else!

It's enough to do his head in

Broderick Arnot:

dig director (under stress)

husband (under review) 

archaeology lecturer (under threat)

Elevator pitch: Romance

The Tweet I didn't post this morning:

-----------------------------------------------

“Romance at the student summer dig”

Love blossoms at the excavation of a Roman villa in the Cotswolds. Amidst the mayhem, policeman DS Luca Millifiore and post-grad archaeologist Rachel Feist, find one another

"Small Finds"

#Romance #JWPitchFestival

------------------------------------------

There is romance. Of course there is.

But there's so much more ...

It's not that simple

Saturday, Sunday, Monday

The weekend passes

Broderick drives back south to the Cotswolds and the dig

Sunday passes in a bit of a blur

Monday starts well. He keeps himself busy

Ceramics. The cool certainty of a pot in the hand

But it doesn't last

Chapter 30

Small Finds, a novel

Archaeology and stuff
