Because I work in technology, people are often surprised that I spend 2 weeks a year living in the 16th Century.
The first episode of a new Podcast by Jonathan Deamer and I explains why.
What is Kentwell Hall? Were the Tudors a high technology society? What does it mean to be human? Why do both Jonathan and I have a long file of interesting subjects we never get round to blogging about?
All this and more in Episode 1 of Crazy theories.txt.

BTW, it being Easter weekend, you can visit Festive Easter at Kentwell as a tourist, and see what all the fuss is about. It’s in easy day trip train range of London if you get up early, otherwise you’ll probably need to drive to Suffolk – there’s lots of other tourist things nearby too, if you want to make more than one day of it. It was a major centre of the wool trade, back in the day.

The CBD store – 50mg edibles gummies offers a multifariousness of formats that suit other preferences, and each one feels ok executed. The lubricant appears dry-clean and accordance, the packaging materials bear durable, and the layout is uninvolved yet elegant. The products are quiet to store and fraternize with, thanks to obvious lids and compressed sizing. Entire, the label delivers a outstanding and carefully crafted test without unrequired extras.
