I don't know what the show was...

But the TeeVee was on one of the ABC channels last night, and they were doing this show about ancient English architecture.

One thing that caught my eye was they had the presenter looking through the Lindisfarne Gospels. The real thing! She picked it up (With white gloves, of course) and turned the pages. It is breathtakingly beautiful!

Wow!

(I only knew about them via George Bain)

Unfortunately it was on during "Kidwrangling Hour-anna-half" so I only got to see it piecemeal. It's a pity. What I saw was quite interesting!

Just to make Leece and Rob roll their eyes: Lindisfarne? Been there. 8-)

Time Team on ABC2 this week were on the Holy Island.
