Real Name: Lee
Favourite Ancient Site: West Kennet Long Barrow
Your Location: West (very edge) Carmarthenshire
Your Interests: history, reading, chess, meditation, drawing, walking & learning about life

Extra Info:
Dwelling in West Carmarthenshire surrounded by lovely archeology. 99.99% of my spare time is spent immersed in the stone age, either in the landscape or books, social media etc.. I just bl00dy love learning about our ancestors and most importantly experiencing a tentative link when around these ancient sites or just handling ancient tools. Don't ask as I don't understand it myself but it's something 'kind of spiritual' say?
