Phrenology fascinates me, ever since I saw a weird ceramic head in an antiques shop in Wales with scribbles on it, I wanted to know more. Some of what I learnt troubled me, but mainly it fed my fascination. Even though I know it has become a bit of a curio of the past, and something that is no longer taken seriously, I would LOVE to have my head read. So, as our aim here is to feed all of our curiosities, I have put together the first part in our Curious Guide to Phrenology, the second part is coming very soon.

If Only These Medieval Walls Could Talk

My husband and I very rarely have time to have holidays together, we both work hard and for 11 years have been in a touring band together, so any time off was spent on tour. Recently I left that band to concentrate on various personal things one of which was HowCurious?, however my husband is still very much a member so the holiday issue remains. When we do spend some quality time together, we do it in true curious style; in a Grade II* listed Medieval gatehouse!
