I'm back in Oxford, so as usual one of the first things I did was head down to London to see friends and museums! Last week I visited the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology at University College London. I'll be writing about it in more detail over at the Black Gate blog tomorrow, so tune in there for more info and pictures.
I've always been drawn to simple objects from the past, such as this ancient spoon. Whose was it? What was their favorite meal? |

And there are so many cool museums to visit in London! I admit, I never made it to that one.
Some day I hope to go to London. I like the simple every day objects of the past, as well. I think they connect us more with the people who lived then.
