I had a go at fencing as an adult – a local FE college was offering a 10-week class so a bunch of the girls from the lab went along. Despite me not having much fitness, it was still a fantastic thing to do, we had so much fun. I wonder if 30-years-older me could still score a few hits.🤔

Arguably Celtic ought to be confined to linguistics. The Celtic 'fringe' countries never used to term, until antiquarians re-discovered the cultures & languages in 18th/19th centuries. While such general terms can be useful shorthand, I am sure lots of experts prefer other ways to describe them!
