The weather was finally with us for the long awaited great St George’s Park excavation. An intrepid team of highly skilled GoodGyarcheologists set about the central bed, turning over centuries of compacted earth to reveal the treasures within; clay pipes, bits of old plate, ice cream spoons and a lighter. These were carefully collected by the esteemed Sara and taken back for scientific analysis (to Liz’s house - the park volunteer who lives two doors down from me). As all experienced archaeologists know, you can’t make groundbreaking discoveries without breaking up some actual ground and digging out all the old plants, roots and weeds. We left the central bed transformed, emptied of treasures and ready to be replanted next week. Then celebrated with coffee and cakes at the kiosk.
