    Mar 15 2023
    Yes, we know: there hasn't been an interview. The file is lost somewhere in the ether of Will's internet but that won't stop us from prattling on for further time about the wonders of the Escape/Piña Colada song for 45 minutes. In a fun, giggly, lovely little chitter chatter the two besties catch up and dissect the Piña Colada song...

    Hello everyone. This your first little deep dive after our visit to Lewes Castle and Archaeological museum. Now we can all agree that that was a lovely day out. But it gets better! In this episode Will tells Laura all about Witchcraft in the UK and a great time is had by all. Apart from the poor innocent women accused of Witchcraft. Obviously. But now in the modern world. ENJOY!


    Also apologies for the slightly lower than normal sound quality, between you and me/us, we just didn't use the right microphone. But let's put that behind us and crack on. ok, love you, bye.

    National Treasures Goes To: Lewes Castle Museum
    Jan 11 2023

    Hello! Welcome back! After our little trek round the ruins of Lewes Castle last week, we this week take a moment to explore the archaeological museum that's twinned with the castle.


    We look at all sorts of history from the super super old flints, to the Romans, to the Victorians. It is an absolutely delightful exploration of a treasure trove, just tucked away on Lewes High Street and available to look round with your ticket to Lewes Castle. A treat! Highly recommended!
