ATTENTION EVERYONE! Tomorrow is the winter solstice and you know what means!
That's right, we gather at dawn so the women can hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart to ensure the return of the sun!

The bells, they rattle on the wind,
The beer is getting cold.
What's come before will come again,
Or so it has been told...
For soon will come the longest night,
The lovely solstice tide,
When for your treats you'll have to fight:
For soon, the Mari rides.

Meanwhile if you are Welsh it is the time of year when a skeleton horse might show up at your door and challenge you to a rap battle. If you lose the horse comes into your house and drinks your booze.
Happy Christmas from Mari Lwyd!

The implications for freedom of speech are chilling.
'Government officials have drawn up deeply controversial proposals to broaden the definition of extremism to include anyone who “undermines” the country’s institutions and its values, according to documents seen by the Observer.'

This is a lovely, touching little statuette. It is Boeotian from Tanagra and dates from c300BCE.
It shows an elderly, stooped nurse carrying an infant. Although she seems to grimace, you can imagine she did the same for the baby’s mother or father.

This Roman opus sectile (left) was found at Fishbourne Palace. It’s a wonderful decorative art. It ranges from simple but elegant designs like this to monumental artistic gems like this mid-C4th CE tigress attacking a calf now in the Capitoline museums.

My distant relative, 2Lt Robert McAllister, Post Office Rifles, 8th City of London Regiment, was killed 106 years ago #OTD. My grandson visited his grave in Cement House Cemetery in 2017 and paid his respects. I would love to find Robert’s photo.
