My Big Thing in college was Medieval Studies (Anglo-Saxon / Viking stuff, specifically), and I always go see the Sutton Hoo materials every time I visit the UK (besides David & Stephanie!). Next trip I'll have to see The Hoard! Loved your post on this topic - all too rare for me!! ;-D So jealous of seeing the Hoard!!

They're always interesting folks, and keen to talk about something they know well and most people know hardly at all, always a recipe for an engaging conversation. Thank you, I'm feeling fine now. The consultant checked me over and couldn't find anything wrong. That means that he thinks he hasn't found it, so he wants to do some more tests, this time with the MRI scanner. That is a both fascinating and slightly scary thought, but at least I didn't have to spend a night in hospital under observation.

I envy you - but not what happened to you the next day. Hope you are feeling better now.
