Oh! We are reading Macbeth at school! I can't wait to show the students this picture!

This is so neat! I watched a performance of Macbeth a year or two ago (my brother was in it) and I don't recall any references to the The Stone, but I hadn't heard of it at that point either. My kids and I watched Stone of Destiny a while back and they will love to see a photo of the actual stone. They are quite proud of their own Scottish heritage and properly outraged by the misuse of The Stone :)

A wee explanation: this website was created as a way to amplify the daily surprise of seeing glory in one small life. The notebook entries represented here are all selected from things actually lived and noted on paper in an effort to live the full life British educator Charlotte Mason so ably championed.
