I had a pretty good day today!
We started by going on a walking tour, which I found interesting. There are many random sections of wall round Exeter, some of which you’re allowed to walk on. I also learned about the descendants of a tried ‘witch’ in Exeter, who are currently trying to get their ancestor a pardon. It stands on really interesting legal ground - if the court decides to pardon the ancestor, the descendants can sue for damages, which is stupid because this happened years upon years upon years ago; but if they dismiss the suit on literally any grounds, they may be accused of implying that the ancestor actually was a witch. However it goes, it’ll be absolutely wild to watch, especially because it’s not one of those open-and-shut cases where if you do it right, you can be in and out in thirty minutes but one where every possible answer opens another can of worms - the only real way to win for the courts is not to play (keeping the case out of court.)
I also went into the Exeter tunnels. Mom got a bit claustrophobic and left early, but me and my dad learned a lot.
All in all, I had fun.
