Today I finally saw the Settinsham Horde at Norwich Castle but unfortunately the legend telling you what each one was was not there. @tessmachling.bsky.social can you give me a clue what these are please.

So that’s Colchester Castle done. Tomorrow we’re heading to Norwich. Any recommendations on places to visit @theduncanmackay.bsky.social I’ve got Norwich Castle on the list.

Finally ticked Colchester Castle off my bucket list. Didn’t get to the Circus as it was a bit cold and drizzly and my two barbarians were sitting in the car waiting for me as the four legged one was not allowed into the Castle

Sending a big thank you to everyone involved in organising @vindolandatrust.bsky.social ‘s Magna Climate Conference yesterday. Absolutely brilliant I even understood some of the chemistry bits! Look forward to the next one!

And that’s another nail biting annual event done. Secured a place for next September digging at @vindolandatrust.bsky.social though it was a bit touch and go as I was about 440th in the queue to start with. Roll on next September!🙂

www.bbc.com/news/article.... Knowing you’re interested in coracles have you seen this @theduncanmackay.bsky.social
Bronze Age Fife coracle recreated 50 years after its discovery - BBC News

A dodgy entry for #HillfortsWednesday Pendle Hill. Apparently there were Neolithic and Bronze Age burials. I went for the Witches as I’m currently reading ‘Something Wicked’ about the families involved in the Witch Trials!

#ClassicsTober25 Day 4 Shroud. OK I’m going a little of track here! Many years ago I read a book by PD James called ‘Shroud for a Nightingale’. I can recall very little about it expect it was set in a Nurses Training School

#ClassicsTober25. Day 2 Thanatos the personification of Death. One of my favourite personifications of Death is the one in Terry Pratchett’s DiscWord who has a small sidekick called Death of Rats. This is a cross stitch that I did of Death of Rats

Whoops! Bit behind with #ClassicsTober25. So Day 1 Hypnos. I’m current reading the new Natalie Haynes Novel ‘No Friend to this House’. This is the passage where Medea deals with the dragon guarding the Golden Fleece calling upon Hypnos to aid her in her task. BTW NFTTH is excellent!
