Hello everyone. This your first little deep dive after our visit to Lewes Castle and Archaeological museum. Now we can all agree that that was a lovely day out. But it gets better! In this episode Will tells Laura all about Witchcraft in the UK and a great time is had by all. Apart from the poor innocent women accused of Witchcraft. Obviously. But now in the modern world. ENJOY!

Also apologies for the slightly lower than normal sound quality, between you and me/us, we just didn't use the right microphone. But let's put that behind us and crack on. ok, love you, bye.

Hello! Welcome back! After our little trek round the ruins of Lewes Castle last week, we this week take a moment to explore the archaeological museum that's twinned with the castle.

We look at all sorts of history from the super super old flints, to the Romans, to the Victorians. It is an absolutely delightful exploration of a treasure trove, just tucked away on Lewes High Street and available to look round with your ticket to Lewes Castle. A treat! Highly recommended!

Happy New Year everyone! Laura and Will kick off 2023 with a delightfully wholesome visit to Lewes Castle. Tucked away on a cobbled street just off the main High Street through Lewes, are the ruins of Lewes Castle. Built by William de Warrenne right back in the past when everything was a nightmare.

They explore the history of Lewes and the castle, and then take a trip up through the ruins to the top of the keep. This was recorded in December when the snow was falling and the roads were treacherous - who knows what the weather is like now it's January? Literally could be anything given how the weather has been of late.

Anyway, enjoy a bit of Norman history and beyond. Next week, we complete our trip with the recording of our visit round the archaeological museum. All in all, pretty blooming lovely.

So... listen, there was not quite enough of Brighton Christmas Market for us to be able to spin that visit into a double episode. We really did our best, but... this episode would have been us just going round that ferris wheel 60 times and no one wanted that. SO! We huddled back to our cosy homes and had a little Christmas party with our patrons. Laura and Will quizzed each other on all things Christmas.
