Not all battles are fought with a sword
The tour of Colchester Castle not only took us down to the Dungeon, but we also got to climb up onto the roof. My pictures from up there aren’t terribly interesting, but I liked the staircase on the way up :-).
One of the great weirdnesses of living here in the UK is being reminded of how completely American a holiday Thanksgiving is, effectively ignored on the rest of the planet. (Much like American Football, to which it is quite closely connected!)
‘Twere it not for various on-line reminders and communications from (American) friends and family, one could easily miss the whole thing. I, to be honest, only realized quite late in the day that Thanksgiving was today – I had been thinking it was next week.
But it’s today, so happy Thanksgiving! Now go read Athena’s cool Thanksgiving poem and enjoy your feasts!
