Term beings...

You can tell I'm back in Oxford.

I got back today to discover a nice package from my supervisor for this term. She wants me to write an essay and hand it in by Wednesday 19th. That, for the record, is the day after my first lecture of the course.

Does anyone out there know anything about the architecture of the early christian church?

I am apparently about to find out.

I shall be enthused! I shall view this as a challenge! And it will all be good.

Ah.... trade with Byzantium.

*nods*

Can I be an archeologist now?

Actually, on a random and disconnected level, do you know if there is anywhere in the UK where one can mine amethyst? It's something that I was always sure we had in the British Isles until I was told that amethyst always meant foreign trade.

It's been confusing me for some time.

For some reason I always though that Wales had amethyst mines. But I have no real proof of that.

Main things that I know we mine over here would be coal, tin and copper. After that I start getting confused and remembering things I've read in fantasy novels. *looks embarassed*

They mine all sorts of random things in the Lake District, but I don't think amethyst is one of them.

OK, apparently you can get amethyst out of West Penwith mine in Cornwall. So there you go.
