Well, despite the massively predictable bank holiday weekend weather here in the UK, a visit to Bodiam Castle was well worth it.

Bodiam castle is a National Trust property located in Sussex (not far from Hastings). It was built in the late 13th century as a “fortified home” for an English adventurer returning from France. It could well be argued that it isn’t really a castle, as it was more of a “manor house” with a moat and crenelations… This picture shows the front entrance of the castle - if there is interest / time, I will upload more pictures in the future.

One other odd thing, was a strange looking duck. Being a City Dweller, I am not really up to speed on what water fowl look like, so this one caught my eye. Can anyone confirm what it is please?

As always, feedback welcome.

Well, in addition to all the sunbathing, a lot of our time is being taken up with the current overhaul of the Etrusia Websites. You can see the ongoing progress at:

• www.etrusia.co.uk - 3000 years of British History
• normans.etrusia.co.uk - The Norman Conquest of Britain
• romans.etrusia.co.uk - The Roman Occupation of Britain
• saxons.etrusia.co.uk - Britain under the Saxons
• celts.etrusia.co.uk - Celtic Britain
• medieval.etrusia.co.uk - The Medieval World

As part of this overhaul, you can see some of the “newer” technologies being implemented - this is especially true with the Medieval British Castles map on medieval.etrusia.co.uk. Have a look and let us know what you think.
