    I would have loved to see your sword and shield in person. I know about Lindisfarne's being destroyed by the Norsemen, leading to England's viking kings, all because I'm very interested in William the Conqueror, a viking descendant himself.

    Great post! Thanks for visiting mine, too.

    It certainly is an impressive Viking, but then again it's not surprising! He's from Norway!! .
    Wasn't Lindisfarne the first place to be attacked by the Vikings? Actually they never left Great Britain or France and they had a great influence on the English language. Thanks for your visit. Your blog is interesting!

    Great choice for "S".

    Others commented that "Louis's" Submarine wasn't visible, but it is showing now. Blogger must have had a bug...
