Someone living just a short drive from our new home is selling a trebuchet with a 5 m throwing arm. For just about 600 Euro...
I think I have to talk to my wife about things this house still lacks. Like a moat. And this.

The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in Britain for the first time in nearly 1,000 years following a secret journey from France.
The priceless 70-metre-long medieval artwork depicting the Norman conquest of England
