Lupercalia

A significant date. My mother's birthday.

Also Lupercalia: the day when Romulus, founder of the city of Rome, celebrated the life of the she-wolf that reared him and his brother, Remus.

Normally celebrated by slaughtering a goat and a dog: not sure how that helped in the fun, but a refined version of that ceremony will be enacted in many paces today.

I completed the first draft of the layout of a new book by Nancille Peacocke, sent it to her for approval and editing. This is the second book in her planned trilogy, see www.author.co.uk/wymondly for details of the first book, Savannah Spell. Based in Georgia when the English were trying to be dominating, it is an enthralling story, very well told. The second book will be a fine follow-on, so start reading the first now!
