Mouse always on the lookout for #HistoricGraffiti and other glyphs but has drawn a big blank on her scamper down the river Axe in Somerset unlike her Wiltshire scampers. But #StAndrewLoxton #Somerset has come up trumps for her #GraffitiTuesday #MouseJustStaringAtWalls

Bees are sacred to Apollo, and honey has been offered to the gods for three thousand years, since the days of Mycenae. The Oracle at Delphi was offered honey and said to be a Bee, bringing prophecy down from Apollo; apiaries were connected to the god as well. #FairyTaleTuesday

Here are some musicians playing music in the margins of a manuscript containing music.

What a beautiful bright sunny day! It was perfect to see the detail on the magnificent Muiredach’s Cross at Monasterboice.
The cross is the finest example in the country (in my subjective opinion!). A masterpiece of 10th century Irish art.

Glorious multi-coloured glass bowl found somewhere in Vesuvian area in the 19th C.
Late 1st C BC - early 1st C AD.
Possibly favourite ever everyday #Roman object, which is saying a lot.
In MANN National Archaeological Museum Naples.
