For the summer soulstice I visited the place where my ancestors slaughtered 20,000 Romans and fed them the The Hungry Lords.

The place is Teutoberger Wald. (Teutoburger Forest)

Ah a liking for corgis also, the plot thickens. And you don't paint yourself blue anytime do you?

And you don't paint yourself blue anytime do you?
The blue paint (woad) was a practice used by the Celts, particularly the Pretani...I'm not too sure about the ancient Germans.
