This blog is dedicated to Piers Gaveston, Earl Of Cornwall. Piers, also known as Perrot, was the favourite of Edward II. Depending on historical interpretation, the definition of 'favourite' ranges from 'brother', 'beloved friend' or 'lover'. This blog will be a mix of historical narrative, personal opinion and hopefully some lighter postings! The Plus will cover other historical matters.

Holiday in Egypt
Just returned from a holiday in Egypt. Didn't know an awful alot about Egyptian history, but have learned so much! Here are some pictorial highlights.
Wow, what fantastic pics! Thanks so much for posting! Glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThose statues...the size of them...wow. Just...wow.
Thanks Kathryn - I think it's impossible to take a bad picture in Egypt! and yeah, they have to be seen to be believed.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteYeah, looks like the pharaohs wanted everything to be just a wee bit bigger than elsewhere. :)
