Those Anglo-Saxons...

In the fall after we arrived in England we started to explore our surroundings. Fortunately, an Anglo-Saxon village was discovered many years ago here in East Anglia. It is the most complete village ever found in Britian. Frames of buildings made of wood were found, which the scientists were able to speculate what the homes looked like, what their barns, meeting hall, and other structures were like. This is the barn where the sheep are during the warmer parts of the year. Also, during the warmer months there are many other animals here which the Saxons would have had; there are also people who come and dress up and "live" in the village like the Saxons would have. It was a very primitve life. This is a home. This is Rhett modeling a Saxon warrior's helmet (looks quite fierce with the umbrellas). More artifacts found at the site. The helmet seems to have swallowed Brittany's neck! Eliza impersonating an Anglo-Saxon Richard Nixon. LOL. Tarah just trying to see through the darn thing.
