I'm not a Palenque aficionado, but every piece of art that I see from this Maya city is stunning. For some reason, this recently discovered life-like mask of the maize god took my breath away. Art does that sometimes. Here's a video (in Spanish) about it: youtu.be/HClsBalRpzI

Some of you will have noticed the excavations taking place in our quad. We're now in a position to confirm that the Hertford Spa is under construction and will open later this year. At its heart will be a stunning outdoor swimming pool, as pictured in this artist's impression.
