Come, meet Britain's oldest complete human skeleton (estimated to be almost 9000 years old) on the day of C.
He was found in 1903 and you can see him in Gough's cave, near the village of Cheddar in Somerset.
Get your tickets and come on in. This cave has been lit, highlighted, and presented (with an entertaining audio recording) to take you back in time when it was first discovered by Richard Gough in 1898.
Yes, you got it--Cheddar Cheese was born here (sometime in the 12th century)
and it continues to mature in the caves even today.
and it continues to mature in the caves even today.
What's more, you can buy cave matured cheddar cheese when you step outside.
We did and relished it tremendously.
Stalagmites and stalactites create stunning displays
All that time inside a cave can make one hungry:)
Cerulean skies, a good cup of tea, scones and jam--a perfect English summer's day.

Please note: even if you don't think that the sky is cerulean in this picture, humour this blogger's attempt to use a word she loves which also begins with C.
And why do I love this word?
Because in a movie or a TV show, I forget the name, I heard a character say this to an aspiring author who looked up to the sky and explained, "Cerulean!"
"You are an author...only authors call a blue sky cerulean."

Have you been inside a cave recently? Where? Did you like it?

Delve into a different kind of looking tomorrow--D will be here, do drop by:)
