Hi Louise and fellow Arachnids,
Thank you very much for this link. I got up early this morning (05.45 hrs.
on a Sunday morning) to watch it and I was enchanted. As I am involved in
Medieval Living History, including demonstrating some medieval
textile-crafts I found this program riveting. Let's hope Dan Jones will do
some equally good programs in the future.
