1788 Spanish recipes from Manuela Gonzalez: miel rosada, buñuelos de viento, pan rey, distilled cider. The Pan Rey recipe looks like a recipe for Rosca de Reyes, Three Kings Day cake.

Some of the recently repackaged relics in the British Jesuit Archive looking like Christmas baubles when you get them out of the attic each year.

I visited all three castles in the one day!

I managed all three!!

I’ve just spent the last few days helping preserve the rare books at St Beuno’s in North Wales. Tomorrow is a day off so plan to visit castles — I’m thinking Caernarfon, Beaumaris or Conwy but doubt I can manage all 3. Which to choose?
