Sounds delicious!

Heard about these but only one I’ve seen. #CressetStone filled with oil to light stairs for monks getting up early to say #Prayers #Brecon

Particularly after my 2024 foot operation “normal” socks really irritate. So (deep breath) I shall have to take up knitting again and become self sufficient in comfy socks

I love this detail. I sometimes see “footprint” graffiti on churches that have similar sole shapes

I’d wear a reproduction of these in a heartbeat! I love them

Is there a link between mice and sugar being used in medicine and the sugar mouse confection?

Christmas can be lovely and awful in equal measure. I hope yours is the former, but if not here are some resources…

Goat singer accompanied by donkey harpist; capital from a medieval manuscript

Anyone wondering what that bizarre sitar-adjacent instrument was just now on BBCR4, it was “the standard European harp of late medieval, renaissance & early baroque periods, still used until the late 18th C in some places.”

Here, have a donkey harpist and goat singer.

Went to a family wedding and found lots of lovely graffiti- item 1 - A foot print scratched half way up the wall (assorted other marks a bonus)

I thought it would be uncomfortable but it really wasn’t. I did hate the idea of it getting dirty or when it needed laundering.

My ruff sets were a bit rubbish - it’s only in the practice do you really appreciate the skill that went into turning out looking respectable

I feel like making another one of those petticote-bodys ❤️
