In the spirit of learning from our mistakes, I want to share my experiences of pretending to be a medieval scribe and #makingmedievalink with @sarajcharles and #BeingHuman2020 (spoiler alert, it went wrong, I am not a master scribe, and I totally want to make more ink!) 
First step: smash the 20g of oak galls with a hammer. Nearest to a newspaper I could find to wrap them up was a Thomas the Tank Engine magazine. The pages are not robust and after the first few holes there were oak galls flying around the kitchen #makingmedievalink
Soaked the galls in 200ml of boiled/cooled water in a jam jar and gave it a stir. Definitely smells of tea, specifically rooibos tea! In retrospect best not to use a jar with any shape for the galls to catch in. But starting to feel like I know what I’m doing #makingmedievalink
