The 2nd edition of the Nottingham Gingerbread Tiles 😊

Black treacle instead of honey — taste is more intense, bittersweet, like rye bread.

Glazing — yes or no?

Lombardic letters – monospaced! (shall I write a thesis on this? 😅 ) Victorian times, Round church in Cambridge
Look at n and u, a couple of letters are mirrored – curious if this was intentional

Playing some 14th century #Scrabble with this #Lombardic, copper-alloy ‘E’ with the @aucklandproject volunteers & @JohnCastling as they pick-up where @DUACE2021 students left off! Still searching for the other letters…
