It's a really lovely render of how Dover Castle may have looked.
Two years ago, I embarked on an ambitious 3D reconstruction model of Dover Castle, recreating how it might have looked at the time of the Great Siege in 1216. Working with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model and 3D renders took over five months to develop. #Blender3D

I thought of a tennis joke the other day.
How many players are in a singles tennis match?
Three. A player at each end, and someone in the middle called Annette 😁

Big old... quite old stack of books. I will be looking at each one of these lovely things over the next year. So, if you like books from the 1800s and 1900s, it might be fun!
I will also be posting artefacts and other interesting things as I ramp my sm back up. So, come with me on a journey!

Car had gone fluffy with frost!
Any way, sorted the library bit and some good old book pics from some very rare books will turn up soon!
Here's a fluffy car top in the meantime. #frost

OK... Big tidy up of the office space today. Which includes the library... I hope I don't find any spiders. 🕷🕸😭
Think of a witch/wizard room (yes, there's a skull and other strange stuff, also a black cat) that has been left for 1000 years. Where did all the stuff come from!?

Can you tell what is original and what is reproduction? Answers in alt text.
I will cover each item over time on here ☺️

Yearly reminder...
It's 1868 and 'Santa' as we know him is shown selling Sugar Plums.
Coca-cola did not... I repeat did NOT invent Santa as we know him. Coca-cola was first introduced in 1886.

Ahh what exotic medieval city is this? A view down the city river edged with ancient buildings...
Yup, it's Canterbury! And I was on may way to the cathedral for some evening carols by candle light.
How often does one get to do that? (once a year for me).
