This story has almost everything – extraordinary human endeavour, amazing science including the death of oceans and raising of mountains, fascinating engineering, over 2000 years of human history including megalomaniac popes, lots of money, and nudity, albeit as some of the world’s greatest art made from its finest natural material.

I finished work in 2016 after 37 years as a geologist, making beautiful maps packed with information about rocks and landscapes. My earth science interests have now branched out into historic stone uses ranging from Italian Renaissance sculpture to English churches. I also volunteer for the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, bake bread and get into the countryside with my wife as often as possible.
