Wiltshire though isn't what you would call "localised to Cumbric" . There was obviously more movement between parts of England than we would have thought.

The sheep counting numbers are from a relation of Welsh known as Cumbric, which was spoken in Northern England and Scotland, maybe in places as recently as the twelfth century.

You need good footware for the causeway, as it can be very slippery.

Alzheimer's Twiddle Mitts
The mitt is long and the victims use both hands in one mitt. But there is a constant need for them as they can't be shared. I chose the colours to be stimulating for an Alzheimer's person.
