OMFG, they are so delicous. If you are ever up in Northumberland, the whole coastline is a razorclam fest. All you need is low tide and a bottle of Saxa table salt.

Quite a few on Anglesey where I have just got back from. I stuck to whitebait and crab for lunch though, yum!

A sprig of wild garlic picked in a nearby park/woods yesterday, which I stuck in my car's warm/cold air blaster vent. I put the heater on warm and the wonderful smell of garlic filled my car.

Bliss.

We found this in some donated clothes at work today:

It's a "Cross of Honour" for mothers of large families, with an invitation to a celebration to honour the recipient on the 13th of August 1939. I've blanked out the symbol, as it's illegal here; technically presenting a piece of historical evidence is exempt, but still...

The letter makes it clear that only a limited number of mothers get this each year, and "Frau ! " is the 52nd in her district to get a reservation.

Somehow holding this made the horror if it all more real: this is a normal letter sent out by the local government. The place names are places I know well, and they're full of pleasant, tolerant people, yet this place, and in fact this whole nation of perfectly sensible people once went collectively insane.

Despite that will a museum take it? They are rare things these days especially with the accompanying letter.

I'm sure they will, even though it feels a bit creepy to hold something like that.
