Forgot to mention we had a walk around Maiden Castle on Friday on our way to David’s. I always like seeing those impressive imposing ramparts, what a feat of endurance digging and building them! I always forget what a vast area it covers. It was always held up as a good example of an Iron Age Fort when I was studying history. It is interesting they now don’t think the Romans stormed it because of the way the burials are ordered. When I used to teach the Romans in History we often recreated our own storming with the some pupils demonstrating the tortoise formation as Romans shows how “History” can change!

Also saw a few Yellowhammers at the bottom of the “Castle”.
