The Britblog Roundup No 119 is now up on Liberal England, and when I say that it is a nice little holiday collection I’m not denying that I did nominate quite a few of them.

But it did direct me to an excellent new “good life” blog, Bean Sprouts, about a green trying to walk the walk. (The selected post is on backyard chickens, something I’m at least half serious contemplating should my long drawn-out, complicated house purchase finally ever come off – one serious barrier being that the lease apparently doesn’t correspond to the actual structure, which the sellers’ solicitor refuses to acknowledge – fun, fun.)

And there’s also a nice little expose of an McDonald’s supporting MP – World Cup tickets anyone?

Heading into older dirt, Carnivalesque No 27 (this one focusing on ancient and early modern history) is now up on Aardvarchaeology. Who could resist a post “on the latest and most titillating dirt on Carolingian royal charters”?
