Essex Days ; The Prittlewell Saxon hoard,Southend on Sea
I think that the graves would simply be washed away and that there would be nothing left.
On another point, the invasion model is not as accepted as it used to be. In certain parts of Eastern England the Romans had been importing German tribes ...

Piriformis - an unusual form of sciatica
6 months on and I am still not completely recovered. I used my pain machine this morning but have not had any pain relief medication for weeks now . It takes time but keep at it.

Bsg,
Hello ... What a fantastic point you make. I don't think that this had occurred to anyone. I can just see a newly Christianised wife placing two gold crosses over his eyes as she made her farewell and the fact that these are the only ...

Morning Frank,
That coast is certainly eroding on E England. Some Saxon archaeology may be under the sea by now so marine archaeologists would be needed.

Derdriu,
Good morning dear lady. The area is on the East coast of England and is heavily Anglo Saxon . The invaders pushed the native population back west to west England and Wales. Therefore Essex almost certainly will have much more to ...

Essex has an eroding shoreline, so some archaeology has been lost to the sea.

A good article. Here is a tip for growers. Broccoli is resistant to frost until minus 18, so if you live in a frost prone area take precautions,such as protecting it by cloches.

Veronica, Thank you for the images and information.
Do archaeologists suspect that other such remains are in the area?
The article Archaeologists Reveal Findings of Prittlewell Anglo-Saxon Burial on the Archaeology Wiki blog May 10, 2019, ...

Broccoli Could Prevent or Slow Down Onset of Osteoarthritis - Scientific Study
I didn't know this about broccoli. So many people, younger or older, are struggling with osteoarthritis in the knees. A few years ago I had pain in one knee when I walked up some stairs. Then it went away. I did take various pills to regenerate ...

The Mystery of the Langham Madonnna
What a good explanation of presence. Thank you Mira.Your observation about presence being felt in little things is also important.
The point that you make is that presence does not depend upon physical proximity, as you could sense the ...

The Mystery of the Langham Madonnna
I think of presence as Life from a spiritual realm felt through an object or a person. I also think of it in terms of a certain connection with a person or an object. Frankly, I'm surprised that so many people fail to recognize spiritual ...

Hedging with religion was not uncommon, since understanding of religion was not always that deep. Rollo also hedged when he sacrificed prisoners to his Norse god before his death, But, perhaps the pagan aspect of the burial can be attributed ...

Saving the Toddbrook Dam
My daughter in law's family are from that area and she has uncle s and cousins there. But their part of Whaley Bridge was unaffected. The emergency services did a sterling job. They were tireless and superb .

The Suffragette Campaign and their bombing of Alexandra Park Manchester in 1913
Derdriu
Yes indeed how clever of you to find this. The Suffragettes damaged paintings in Manchester Art gallery also to highlight their cause. This again was 1913 , which was a major turning point in the Suffragette campaign because of the ...

Saving the Toddbrook Dam
As the dam is twenty two miles away from my house there would have been few, if any, ill-effects,though the Mersey, a mile away from where I live, would have swelled with floodwater. But the Mersey flood defences are excellent.
I sometimes ...
