The bacon hanging to show off, raining cats and dogs, tanning leather (yikes) and the canopy bad... and so many other things!

Also urine tells us if people have diabetes .. I remember a novel that used this .. it was set in Australia in the 1800s .. and the chap guessed that was his problem. Napoleon was poisoned by the lead in the wallpaper or paint was it ... and so many interesting things you've reminded us about.<br /><br />They've had some programmes on the Crossrail development - where they've found burial grounds dating back to the 1200s and 1600s .. fascinating archaeology and how much we can find today.<br /><br />Down here too ... you'd have lots in N Ireland .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
