Last week I had an experience that I thought might be of interest to the folks on here. 
Last Monday I went with my partner and a few mates to Lichfield in Staffordshire, in order to visit the cathedral (I'm originally from America and as such I get great pleasure out of visiting Britain's historical sites
). Before we went into the cathedral though, we decided we'd pop into the Lichfield heritage centre first (once again to humour my undying love for history). However, I was pleased to discovered upon entry that the heritage centre just happened to be hosting a few bits from Leicestershire's Hallaton Hoard, which, for those who may not know, is believed to be from an iron age 'open air ritual site', from which archaeologists discovered thousands of British and Roman coins, and some other bits, believed to be buried as part of an offering to the Gods.
I'll post a link to the page regarding the hoard on the British Museum website:
www.britishmuseum.org/research/research_projects/all_current_projects/the_east_leicestershire_hoards.aspx
Anyway, I imagine this may not be news to a lot of people on here, but I just thought this was a odd coincidence as I've only recently stumbled upon Brython and Brythonic Reconstructionism, it felt like a sign, re-enforcing that this is the right path for me....in fact, even my partner looked at me with raised eyebrows when we saw the advert for the exhibit, haha.
