Wow what a view! Also glad to see a historian dress the way I usually do. Makes me feel less imposter syndrome when I’m reading history books with my cap on and tats out.

I went on the tour of Salisbury Cathedral. We didn't go up the crooked spire. But, I did see their copy of Magna Carta. I was expecting it to be bigger. But, it looks like the girl in school with the smallest handwriting wrote it, after learning Latin of course. I took a photo of the Haunch of Venison. I didn't have time to go in. I heard it had an interesting medieval history, but the possible WWII connection was slightly more relevant to me. This was the same day I saw Stonehenge. It was a packed day.

Salisbury cathedral is gorgeous. I spent an afternoon sprawled on the sunny green gazing at the spire (yes alright, and dozing off as well). Lovely.

Emma Wells' Substack looks a good read, thanks for the tip.

I caught COVID so I'm living life through the experiences of others for the foreseeable future! Salisbury looks incredible. All that was missing was a cornetto. Mint flavoured.
