Nice to read something about the period from a different perspective, more balanced towards the Norwegians and Danes and seeing them as part of an overall milieu rather than faceless 'others' who have no history until the appear on the shores of Northumbria. Slept in my own bed for the first time in a while last night as we have been in the tent. It's too hot in the house though! I would happily sleep out in the tent all the time I think, as long as there is a warm blanket and sleeping bag and the house is a few steps away if I need anything. I'm taking the kids down to the New Forest for a few days next week without Helen. I think I'm more excited about it than they are though, I hope it goes well.
