Lovely job, Sammy and how those Romans loved to curse each other! Have you been to Bath and read some of the original curses? Amazing. And the models of limbs that supplicants wanted curing. One of my favourite places to go near here – I even made my husband and son take me there one birthday. Not sure how much they enjoyed the day, but I loved it 🙂

Thank you, Lynn. 🙂 I have yet to visit Bath but it is on my list of places to see, but I have read a fair bit about it. It sounds like such an interesting place – and definitely a great place to spend your birthday! And curses are always fun lol 😀

Oh, it’s lovely Sammi. I hope you get the chance to go some day. Preferably not in a school holiday, though – no offence to the kids! It’s a such a lovely experience. Ooh, my birthday’s coming up soon – might be time for return visit 🙂

No. Some quiet, unpopular time, when you have space and quiet to enjoy it 🙂

Nice spell! Or rather, not at all nice, in a well-written way. 🙂
