What on earth? CATs test for starting Yr7. Anyone any idea of the scientific validity that leads to a child saying only half their brain is working???

Interesting talk tonight from @jpwarchaeology on myths in medieval castles. So many stories heard! So many knife sharpeners and left/right handers battling it out. Podcast and books needed!

Seriously dischuffed with the number of second home owners appearing in an area with few hospitals, a glorious but not necessarily safe coastline and struggling supply lines. For goodness sake: wait!
