Things you can do in your local urban community garden:

@CiaraNi Alt texts are nice like that
@ondekvinde They are indeed
-
(I’m going to pretend I knew all that already, not that I just had to look it up so I could write the image description. Once again, Alt Text made me look closer at something I saw by chance so that I could find out more)
I belatedly realise that I banged on about community gardens and flowers and vegetables without giving any context. Which makes little sense if you don't know the site where the Viking boat is being built and what you see when you turn around.

The 7.7m-long Gislingebåden from 1100 BCE was ‘both the last Viking ship and the first medieval ship’.
A replica is being built at Aarhus harbour by a group of young people using the traditional Nordic clinker boat-building techniques that UNESCO recognises as being part of the 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.
@CiaraNi I'm sure that's CE rather than BCE, eh?

@xmacdonald Ah yikes - yes! Thanks for catching it - I'll fix it now. Much appreciated!

@CiaraNi Interesting!
BUT (nit picking I know)
surely the boat was built in about 1100 in the common era (not BCE) - your text
The article linked to also refers to the 1100th century - should be the 1100s or 11th century! -

@CiaraNi Thanks for bringing the article to our attention, and thanks for fixing what you we able to fix! -
Things you can do in your local urban community garden:
smell the flowers
admire people’s vegetables
have a cup of coffee in the geodome
sit on a bench and enjoy the sea view
follow the progress of the Viking ship that a group of young people are building by hand using 12th-century boat-building techniques
@CiaraNi what a fantastic project!

@Nickiquote Am a bit disappointed now to learn that there is no Viking emoji, which I had hoped to respond with here. A Viking longship emoji could also be part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
@CiaraNi @Nickiquote if it's recognised by UNESCO it should have an emoji, IMHO
