Sutton Hoo, Suffolk ....
In a field overlooking the River Deben at Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge, on the eve of the Second World War, archaeologist Basil Brown discovered one of the greatest treasures ever found in Britain..... a 90 foot long Anglo Saxon King's burial ship (thought to be King Raedwald, King of East Anglia) and his possessions which had lain undisturbed for 1300 years and has changed the way we think about the Anglo Saxons.

As the ex-mother-in-law once said "isn't it bleak" .... but I rather like this area of wide and welcoming skies, (I may be strange, but I'm harmless!)

The Dubliners, I remember Dublin city in the rare auld times
Lyrics:
The chorus is:
Ring a ring a rosie
As the light declines
I remember Dublin city
In the rare auld times.
Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown
The passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes
That once was Dublin city in the rare auld times.
Ah me name it is Sean Dempsey as Dublin as can be, born hard and late in Pimlico,in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade is a memory.
And I courted Peggy Diugnan, as pretty as you please
A rogue and a child of Mary, from the rebel Liberties
I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal
When he took her off to Birmingham,he took away my soul.
The years have made me bitter, the gargle's dimmed my brain
'Cos Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same
The pillar and the Met. have gone, the Royal long since pulled down,
As the gray unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town.
Fare-thee-well sweet Anna Liffey,I can no longer stay,
And watch the new glass cages,that spring up along the quay
My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes
I'm part of what was Dublin, in the rare auld times.

A clever Crow, resident of the Ranua Animal Park, Finland
This clever Crow had obviously done this before! When he spotted us, he flew down to the ground, picked up a twig and pushed it through one of the gaps in the chain-link fence. When one of us tried to take the twig from him he quickly darted his head backwards so we couldn't catch hold of the twig. This went on for many minutes .... he was enjoying playing with these daft humans!
