Leigh Court Barn is an outstanding example of English medieval carpentry, and the largest cruck framed structure in Britain. Built around 1325, it is over 42 metres long with 18 cruck blades - each made from a single oak tree.
This barn is the only surviving building from the manor of Leigh Court in Worcestershire, which belonged in the Middle Ages to the monks of Pershore Abbey.
Radiocarbon dating has shown that the timbers for the barn were felled in the spring of 1344, which supports the evidence of carpentry techniques that date the barn to the 14th century.
It is free of charge to visit and is managed by English Heritage.

As someone who read the Shadow and Bone trilogy and it easily became one of my most favorite book series, seeing the line, "Like calls to like." In a Court of Mist and Fury sends me for a loop every time especially as someone who liked the Darkling's writing and found him to be a well written villain and from a stand point could understand his point of view.
#in my defense I never condoned the darkling's actions#but he was a well written villain#and he was down played in the show but Ben Barnes did amazing with what was written#I am a Ben Barnes stan first always#he's so nice and just ugggh handsome#a court of mist and fury#sarah j maas#shadow and bone trilogy#Grishaverse#leigh bardugo#acotar

My goal was to read 90 books and I beat that by 5. I think I’m going to set my reading goal to just 80 this year. Just to give myself a little more freedom. I did read a lot of really short books just to get my number up and I’d rather just focus on reading whatever I want.
Shortest book read: Ice Planet Honeymoon: Raahosh and Liz by Ruby Dixon
Longest book read: Winter by Marissa Meyer
Current read started in 2023 but will finish in 2024: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
#drawing my reads#drawing my reads masterlist#drawing my reads 2023#giving this a full update at the start of a new year#i don't want to give up on this project completely in 2024#but i might change how i do things#i'm thinking of picking a scene from the books i read and drawing that#but i want to give myself a little more freedom#last year i drew book characters even when i wasn't super into the book#and i don't want people coming to my page expecting more fanart of that book#only to be disappointed when i choose not to continue the series#so that being said#i'm reading ten thousand doors of january right now#i haven't found a scene i particularly want to draw just yet#and i'm currently working on a non book related art piece#so hopefully i can get that one done today while i'm off work

have you read the news about sab s2 adapting book 2/3 and the first crows book? i had almost no hope before but now it's sure to go downhill. i wonder is it (poor) marketing for the crows fans so the show can focus on them in a potential s3? if so, half of the people who watched for darklina and ben barnes alone will wave bye bye-- and it will get cancelled. for all they want to say the majority is there for the crows, i don't buy it. me personally im biased cause i only liked show!jesper and nina, so not v appealing, but who knows for the general audience...
I hadn't heard it as an official news story (until I just looked it up) but it doesn't surprise me. I had predicted they would do something like this because books 2 and 3 of the Grisha trilogy aren't well-paced so they'd probably shove those two together.
To be blunt, I don't think the Grisha trilogy plotline is going to be very well-done, in part because of the weakness of the source material but also because most of the fans of the Grisha trilogy didn't really like the way the canon panned out anyway, unlike the Six of Crows fandom which seems much better received since the plotting and character development are just far superior in comparison.
So I'll probably be watching for the ice court plot since that will probably be pretty fun. I do wonder how they are going to handle the Darkling/Alina dynamic since it's already been established as a doomed ship but I don't think there will be much change from the original. Will they offer some false Darklina crumbs like Leigh did in the books? Or will they just go ham on all the cartoon villain angle?
I don't know but my expectations are very low because I'm expecting to be disappointed.
Netflix does randomly cancel shows so it also wouldn't surprise me if this ends up being the last season :/

an intro and fandom/tag list

additional note: some of these authors (such as sjm and cassie clare) have very active and sometimes toxic fandoms (and detractors). I am not interested in becoming involved in fandom drama, nor in defending my enjoyment of these series. I am not afraid to block those who don't respect these wishes.

24th November
St Catherine’s Eve
Source: American Literature website
On this day in Leigh, just west of Worcester, the long-deceased local JP, Richard Colles, is rumoured to return to Leigh Court , heralded by the eerie sound of tinkling bells. His phantom coach, pulled by eight ghostly horses and driven by spectral coachmen, sweeps in, and careers around the building thirteen times, before Old Colles, as he was known, rides over the top of the tithe barn before plunging into the River Teme. Until next St Catherine’s Eve, that is.
Colles’ reappearances were eventually exorcised by twelve parsons, who, bearing a lit candle, commanded the ghost and his entourage to remain beneath the waters of a nearby pool until the candle had burned out. The priests then threw the candle, still lit, into the water. In case Old Colles thought this was a bit of a cheat, the churchmen then had the pool filled in. Colles has remained trapped ever since.

Hi, more thoughts, sorry<3
like yeah i agree that kaz absolutely has a heart, but i think those acts of kindness are mostly reserved for the people he loves, even if wylan is new, you can tell he's already warmed up to him, and i really dont think he'd do something kind just because for someone he feels indifferent to at best, much less someone like a king, and wait omg i just remembered he's friends with sturmhund i take it all back, he would indeed give it up for his friend. and yeah youre right about wesper it was adorable, but i dont know i needed the slow burnnnnn, but yeah given netflix penchant for with gay shit, it was necessary.
And about everything else, yeah it made sense but it was really rushed, especially in s2, and like i get that they have to make everything as fast as they can in case it gets cancelled but im sad about it, but i just really hope malina does meet in the meadow in the end, cause at this point, this show is uncharted territory and completely new and i am so excited for it, and i think that was just setting up for nikolai i bet they will make him all scary later, or at least i hope. But like MERZOST!!!!! ALINA WTF!!! i loved the shadow cut it, like alina i love that youre very powerful but pls try not to turn evil, and like shes heading exactly in the direction the darkling said she would go which is so scary and obvious in a good way i love it. And omg the darkling, like in the books its neither easy to not root for him except maybe when he dies, but here omg, you're telling me he actually felt something for alina and it was not just manipulation!!!
Also Ben Barnes makes it really hard to not be on his side, Alina is waay stronger than me, "Make me your villain", for you? anything, also very simp i loved it, so its okay they omitted a lot of his character and relationship with alina, as they basically made a new one which i like. and about the white hair thing, it was iconic!!! i needed it!! but its okay, also i think the darkling probably experienced some shit associated with his power, but probably never like that cause the only amplifier he used was his mother, and it wasnt until he used merzost he became unstoppable, and it was slowly taking its toll on him, so slowy at first that it might have even been a plot hole, cause later it starts eating him from the inside.
Anyways Ice Court Heist is coming omgomgomgomg im so excited, i cant wait to see something really serious happening with nikolai and alina, and the crows just, just, yeah. i love them. i love jesper and wylan (the characters not their relationship in this instance) so much i could die just thinking about them.
And i think that's all my thoughts until now, I apologize in advance because I WILL think about it more and I WILL bother you about it<3
sturmhond my beloved <3 best of the grishaverse men truly!! also re wesper I love them I'd die for them plus with a tv show I need smth to be happy about and kanej: glacial pace, helnik: slow burn bc of the whole hellgate sitch. like I need smth to be diggin!!! re nikolai, a nichevo'ya is not how he should look and tbh I don't like how they're doing it in the show if that's the angle they take but hopefully I'm wrong. I do think paddy gibson did kill as nikolai like when they let book nikolai pop out? slayed!!! also yeah alina like don't be doin that (merzost) baghra made u promise!! but it is a way better end than her losing all her power and I'm excited to see where they take that, I saw on twitter somewhere that leigh has lots of ideas where to take it if given more so we shall see <3 also w the darkling, like, ok so 1 he is ben barnes so that's a thing bc I've been crushing on him since prince caspian but also!! like the thing is like, he really did love her for a bit there! he had peace when she surprise kissed him!! that's the moment he went right back to in his defeat right before alina mcstabbed him (which he did deserve btw). like the heartbreaking part w darklina is they really could've had it if he'd trusted her!!! but he didn't!!! and that was his greatest weakness!!!!! I do like malina but like, for me it's nikolina >>>>>>>>>> malina sorry. book or show nikolai is just *chef's kiss*. but also re nikolai, zoyalai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nikolina. so like, the setup there is also *chef's kiss*.
