Writer's diary three things of note - Ruth Hogan, a lookalike and raw dogging
Well, that was a week. Like the week before was and next week will be. Writer-wise, not much down on paper, but plenty to reflect on. Not least, an event for an author I’d not come across in a town I have only ever been to once or twice and have no real feel for: Ampthill feels as if it’s got far too may artisans and too many letters in its name.

Discosphinctes bifurcatus Fossil Ammonite - Lower Kimmeridgian, Jurassic - Ampthill, United Kingdom - Genuine Specimen + COA
For sale is an authentic Discosphinctes bifurcatus ammonite fossil from the Lower Kimmeridgian stage of the Jurassic Period, discovered in Ampthill, United Kingdom. This fossil is a carefully selected specimen, displaying the distinct ribbed shell and coiled morphology of the Discosphinctes genus, making it a scientifically significant and visually stunning addition to any fossil collection.
Geology & Fossil Type:
This ammonite originates from the Lower Kimmeridgian, a stage within the Late Jurassic, dating back approximately 152-157 million years. The Kimmeridgian seas covered much of what is now Europe, providing an abundant habitat for ammonites. These fossils are particularly valuable for biostratigraphic dating, allowing geologists to correlate Jurassic rock formations worldwide.
Discosphinctes bifurcatus belonged to the subclass Ammonoidea, an extinct group of marine mollusks closely related to modern squids and octopuses. Ammonites were active swimmers, using their chambered shells for buoyancy control to move efficiently through prehistoric seas. Their ribbed shells provided protection against predators and reinforced their structural integrity.

Ampthill's game against Hartpury in rugby union's Championship had to be abandoned after referee Alex Thomas was hit by a clearing kick during the first half.He appeared to be knocked out when he was struck by the clearance from Hartpury fly-half Harry Bazalgette, with the visitors leading 14-0 at the time.Thomas was treated on the field before being taken off on a stretcher.The game, in the second tier of English rugby union, was called off a few minutes later. "We appreciate that the decision is disappointing for supporters who have travelled to the game but our priority is for health of the players and match officials," Bedfordshire side Ampthill said in a statement."Our thoughts are with Alex for a swift recovery."Hartpury, who began the match fifth in the table and two places above Ampthill, had taken the lead with an Ethan Hunt try.Aristot Benz-Salomon added a second shortly before the incident which ended the game after 28 minutes. 2024-12-14 15:50:51 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/branded_sport/1200/cpsprodpb/c94d/live/378ff5c0-ba31-11ef-aa63-f14f0b45f0e7.jpg
