In Canterbury, there are GROWING THINGS now.
Not only does my child development professor sound like Montgomery Scott, he kind of looks like Scotty (like a facemash of TOS & 2009).
That weird giggle is getting kind of annoying, though.
Team name for the Tea Society quiz, from way back in February. I’m bad at making posts, I know.
Our table setting at The Moat Tea Rooms for the UKC Tea Society’s Wonderland-themed tea social (which was held back in March, but shhh).
We finally figured out what the animals on the tombs in the Kölner Dom were.
The cross-legged attitude of many armoured figures of the late 13th or early 14th centuries was long supposed to imply that the deceased had served in the Crusades, had taken crusading vows, or more specifically had been a Knight Templar; but these theories are now rejected by scholars. Feet were often supported by stylised animals, usually either a lion indicating valour and nobility (generally for men), or a dog indicative of loyalty (generally for women). Sometimes the footrest was an heraldic beast from the deceased’s family coat of arms.
I suck at updating this blog and writing blog posts, but have some photos from Cologne. The first is me and this girl in front of Kölner Dom, the second is the Kölner Dom from beneath some lights at the Christmas market, and the last one is one of about fifty statues in this pose inside the cathedral which just scream “paint me like one of your french girls”.
