Many congratulations to Dr Alex Langlands & team from Swansea for this stunning new discovery from Margam Park in south Wales 😮🥳.

The coastal belt in south Wales is very heavily ploughed, but it sounds like this villa complex has been preserved below old parkland 👌

Thank you. I wish the same for you.
Happy Winter Solstice and Fourth Sunday of Advent. It is early here in England and the church bells just rang across the street in this small town in the Cotswolds. And the candle today is for Love. Wishing you each light and love in times of the dark.

As I’ve said before, my biggest flex is I’ve become the woman who protects the peace and happiness of all the soul pieces who have come back from childhood, teenage years, and as an adult.

This is the amazing work in process reproduction of the Viking Age wagon found in the Oseberg ship burial.

The original is believed to have been used in ceremonies associated with Freya.

The original is in the ship museum in Oslo, and this reproduction in the Borre longhouse.
