Reminds me of visiting my future parents in law (London middle class). Me - council house kid from Lancashire. They invited me for “ supper”. I was confused- why would I go for a milky drink and two digestives 😂

An Edinburgh antiques dealer purchased this small chess piece and passed it down through his family. Carved from walrus ivory and dated to the 13th century, the figure represents a “warder”—the medieval equivalent of a rook. Bought for £5 in 1964. Sold for nearly $1 million in 2019 #History

Human beings are part of nature, not separate from it. It is our home. Carl Sagan's 'Pale Blue Dot' speech gave us a powerful reminder of this: seen from billions of miles away, Earth is a tiny speck suspended in the dark, and everything we have ever known exists on it.

Carl Sagan. Cosmologist and humanist. 'Look again at that dot. That's ere. That's home. That's us. On it every you love, every you know, every you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.'

Listen to Alan Garner- “writing carries thought through time and space, linking the mind of the writer with that of the reader in a space without time. Literature is now a sine qua non of human progress “

Hooray! Wine harvest comes to fruition in Tuscany this month, as fruit of the vine is decanted into barrels. Seasonal cycles, or Labours of the Month, were a favourite medieval theme. This 13th C series w added zodiac symbols is on Lucca's Cathedral, attributed to the Master of San Martino.

October section of Labours of the Month sculpture on facade of Cathedrale San Martino in Lucca, Tuscany.
A man in a dunic is pouring wine from a large jug into a barrel on a stand. The scene is set under an arch with columns in green marble either side, with symbols for Sagittarius and Scorpio to left and right above them.
Panels of dark green and pink marble are also visible.
