Lectern

Dropping by and hoping that everyone has enjoyed their Bank Holiday weekend [well those of us in the UK anyway].....please can someone explain to me how it is that we are already nearly at the end of August?!! It's been lots of bits and bobs going on here at GBT. For the first time in a few years we've actually got our act together and picked some blackberries which are now steeping nicely in a brewing bucket with some of our home grown raspberries. That lot will all be made into wine😍

A wee jaunt back over to Michelham Priory in East Sussex yesterday saw Mythago making its dancing return at the Medieval Festival. I have featured this lovely place on here a few times, so will spare you the repeat photos, but I did rather love this wooden 17th century lectern and its traces of original paint remaining. It's supposed to be an eagle which is a symbol of St John, but I'd have guessed goose or duck had I not known. Whilst the eagle is very common I have seen lecterns with other creatures including a parrot of all things. I'd certainly give this one house room.

Speak soon.
