Widdershins

It is inadvisable to walk Widdershins around your home at any time. Though we especially warn against it at times like Midnight, Dawn, Dusk. Under the Full Moon is a bad idea, as is under the New Moon. Also avoid it at the Equinoxes and the Solstices. Really, just as a general rule, try not to go round your home Widdershins at any time.

Stretch of Roman road unveiled beneath McDonald's restaurant

Two thousand years after legionaries tramped along its well-worn paving stones, an exceptionally well-preserved stretch of Roman road has been opened to the public – beneath a McDonald’s restaurant.

This is beautifully preserved. Look at the worn bit in the bottom lefthand corner. And the burials. Gorgeous. Road trip (literally)!

In this video you'll discover how roads first developed; who invented the wheel, and the first wheeled transport; who first paved a road; how and why the Romans built roads; the average travel time by road or sea before the Industrial Revolution; and why transport by sea, river, or lake was always best.

We wash our feet on the pavement of the sidewalk But we'll always stand our ground The four wheels of this van are falling off one by one But will never bring us down But we'll ride, till this van will meet the sunrise Till the soles on our shoes run dry And tatter holes that tell the stories Of how we lived our lives Take another look because were never coming home This road is our family and our family's all we know The ones we hold the closest are our brethren from our shows Welcome to our home Welcome to the road And we, we are, we are the ones, that will tread These ancient roads alike, till the day we die Take your last look Because I'm walking out the door I'll throw away the key as I coast along the shore This streetlight signifies that we’ve made it on our own Welcome to our home
