The abbey ruins of St. John the Writer at Long Wittering have become pilgrimage destination for authors intent on seeking inspiration intercession. Others come wanting glimpses of tomorrow. The place is littered with offering of pages, previously tossed coins and sherry bottles.

@Monarquicese @Suada1976 @Hyperesthete @DunaroteB @GabrielPetkov5 @Potentialmemery Man you got your arsed kicked. It is almost as if critical thinking, reading a diverse range of books and an understanding of how bias may weaken the development of learning trumps some tepid googling of nonsense.

Important objects have a history of disappearing from the Hookland Archaeological Trust. Take that bone and bronze Saxon lur they speculated was used for calling the spirits of the dead. British Museum made a big bloody fuss when that went missing in the system. – #DICallaghan

Of course everyone sees the petroglyphs on Barrowcross differently. I reckon one of them scratchings is a ship, another a man waving his penis about. The archaeologists say different, but I reckon I know what a ship and a prick looks like. – Joy Redstone #VOH

Now some will say the white bone horse of summer can‰Ûªt be a mare because the sun is masculine. Says who? Folk who reckon the world through the myths of Greece, Rome and Egypt. You come tell the Hookland Countrywomen‰Ûªs Guild that nonsense, see where it gets you. – Sara Ash #VOH https://t.co/L0adcYu3Ss

@swaledalebirds_ It all depends on who you ask and which tradition they follow. Some say the Grey Mare of Winter and the White Horse of Summer suggest an inescapable binary male female duality, but frankly, there are almost as many who reckon that both bone horses could female.
