A close up image of an ancient pot with a large octopus painted on in black with it's tentacles all curled around it.
This jar stands at an impressive height of 75 cm. The painted decoration depicts an octopus, swimming in an abstract seascape. The jar comes from the Minoan palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete, and was created in the 15th century BCE.

The house is lovely just to visit and the events are wonderful. I went to the gin tasting and Georgian history talk last night and it was terrific. Would recommend!

Triple checking my chapter proofs this evening so Thucydides is back out on the table. It’s my first post PhD thing and I had forgotten that feeling before pressing ‘send’ on the final version of something.

Our cat had a few days off colour recently. He’s fully bounced back, looking very lively for his 10 years. Hope kitty feels better soon :).
