Six degrees of separation…..we watched it last night, then I had an email this morning to say a friend in Canada had watched it at the same time, and then I opened your blog!
Thanks for the link to the article about Brown. It was very informative. Even though I live in Tasmania I’ve been lucky enough to see both the new centre at Sutton Hoo and the British Museum display. If we ever get to travel again, I will revisit the BM with a new insight.
