Great night at Ancient Technology Centre in Cranborne listening to Nick Hennessey & Hugh Lupton tell stories of Robin Hood & other English Radicals 😀

I remember making these when I was a kid, wrap the eggs in onion skins (different colour onions make the patterns), tie with thread and boil… This is the closest I’m gonna get to saying happy easter!
I’ve inherited a working PowerBook Duo 280c… Not sure what I’m gonna do with it, suspect it will end up in the loft with everything else… If only I hand more space, I could start a museum!
