Bayeux book

 I got a couple of books from our favourite charity shop. One was an Eric Clapton autobiography and this one on the Bayeux tapestry. Funnily enough I already have a book on the subject but this is more in-depth. I saw it as a youth on a school trip to Normandy. I intend to only read some of the Clapton book. Life is too short to read about his later life.
