Tuesday 14th June.

Planned a field trip today as it is a tough day...its what would have been the birthday of my late Uncle Johnie so I wanted to make sure me and J kept busy. We went for a field trip to Llancaiach Fawr.....http://www.caerphilly.gov.uk/llancaiachfawr/english/home.html......well worth every penny. Printed off a big pdf document that was full of questions about the exhibition part so we did that first then went to the house....it is based in the 1600's and they dress in 1600's clothes and talk the same act the same etc and take you on a tour. Found out that children under age 12 had to stand to eat to learn humility and also sit on the floor for the same reason, learnt that the beds were so short cos they slept sitting up to keep the angel of death away, learnt the men n women sleep apart, in the servants hall J got to make a 'plague' bag.....a bag of herbs so if there was a bad smell you smell the herbs instead so as to not get the plague lol. All in all a fab day.
