I'll let this go "public" for a week or so, in case Pat is surfing / searching.
I'm currently reading:
The Anglo-Saxon: A History of the Beginnings of England, 400 - 1066, Marc Morris, c. 2021.
Much of the early part of the book "comes from" the Venerable Bede.
Pat and I had a connection with St Bede.
This book is just one more in a long list of many that I would have loved to share with Pat..
Looking back, I wish we had spent many weekends with a Saturday overnight in places to explore, with a great Saturday night dinner and wine. So many memories.
