The people who survived the Black Death immediately went to work... and built this beautiful structure, that they intended to use, and that means they were sure they would keep on living. Good on them!
You are building a guild hall in 1357.
What materials are you going to need?
60 trees from Bolton Percy for 27s. 6d., 100 oaks from Thorpe Underwood for £21, 14 tons of stone from Tadcaster and 20,000 bricks for £6 from the Carmelite Friars of York.
That should keep you going!

A grave of a Roman physician in Bingen dating to the 2nd c. AD contained a remarkable set of medical instruments, including cupping cups with a stand in the shape of a grapevine.
These cups were used for therapeutic suction or bloodletting, a practice with deep roots in Greco-Roman . 🧵1/ 2

I had a chance to say "hi!" to Juniper on Saturday, such a treat! Don't ignore the hogs just because there are siamangs to see, they all deserve their moment of enrichment!
Good day to be Juniper the guinea hog, bad day to be a pumpkin! 🎃
How do you prepare for spooky season? Juni’s diving snout-first into the pumpkins... no spice necessary. 👻
