Over the past few days when not ranting I have been to a great workshop and fantastic lecture.
The workshop was on storytelling as part of the breavement process, led by Janet Dowling a lovely lady who has been doing this for a fair time and she knows her stuff. I came away with a great deal of respect for her and for anyone able to do it effectively enough to help people struggling to come to terms with death.
Then the lecture, the Trumpington Cross in Context, new light on the 7th Century. I had heard about this last year when there were bits in the local paper. It had me thinking then about what it meant. A young, 16ish, girl buried on a bed with a gold and garnet cross at her throat. Lots of speculation then about who she was, what was she doing in Trumpington. So the story has moved on and has further to go yet. Have a look at bed burials on wikipedia and other sites and follow the clues yourself.
