LA and I have just returned from a trip to Thetford (£9 travelodge bargain!!) to see Grimes Graves, as part of our current focus on Early Man. We went to the bottom of a flint mine which early man dug with stones and antlers. This is all the more amazing when you stand and look at the landscape, it looks as if its had a very bad case of acne! There is evidence of numerous mines here, well worth a visit if you are in the area. LA was very brave climbing down the vertical ladder with me into the darkness.
Then we spent some time walking in the forest, we were lucky enough to get very close to a deer grazing on a bank which didn't see us for some time. We also discussed adders and how humans fear of them had led us to destroy them and how they were now returning to the countryside. We talked about why dogs were at risk from them, but of the small risk they posed to humans and how we could get help if we were unlucky enough to be bitten by one.
