Newton’s hams & birds

We visited Newton’s house at Woolsthorpe Manor yesterday. Hugely atmospheric, exciting and an emotional place. And the year 1666; his Annus Mirabilis and the most important, intense period of scientific discovery until Einstein, 250 years later.

His kitchen reminds me of the old farmhouse ones we used to live in. Ham (see how I got the pig element in here?), birds and rabbit. Finest kind.

and his apple tree. Protected but still thriving.
