Ritual Protection

I Know this is completly irrelevant but i've just had an e mail from an old course tutor about the 1790s shoe I found. Seems he just found the e mail I sent him in 2006 !

He's a smashing chap & i'd just like to share his website with you all.

If you get the chance to go on one of his courses, you won't be dissapointed.

 

Sorry, Zig, just read that as your old course tutor from the 1790s. :hehe:

 

Blimey, look at sites before you post them Zig :dh:

The daisey wheel in stocklinch church is in the next village past me & Chopper.

Been there but not found that one. Know what Chopper & I will be doing next weekend then.

 

I think builders still make their ritual marks - but I think they just tend to say "Andy was here" or similar :(

 

:lollol:Rum & coke just blurted all over the keyboard :lollol:

 

Oh they do Alice. I've earned a living out of putting right what bt engineers have carved into medieval wattle & daub walls while they were putting their cables in.

It took 25 gallons of water just to get the daub to a state in which I could effect the repairs:dh:

Think i've mentioned the scafolders that drew a willy on the 17th century lead already :dh:

 

Thats smashing John, I love it all too. Sorry, still haven't found that newspaper that i thought i still had :dh:

Will bring up my collection of stuff found in buildings when i next visit.
