Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland site, near Coleford in the Forest of DeanGloucestershireEngland. The site, covering 14 acres, shows evidence of open cast iron ore mining dating from the Roman period, and possibly earlier.

In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No-one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom.

J. R. R. Tolkien, a frequent visitor to the Forest of Dean, may have visited Puzzlewood, and many believe Puzzlewood was the inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle-earth, such as the Old ForestMirkwoodFangorn or Lothlórien contained within The Lord of the RingsJ.K Rowling is also said to have visited Puzzlewood, and it may have been this that influenced her idea of The Forbidden Forest in the Harry Potter books.

Awards

I hate award ceremonies. Particularly for actors and films, because instead of saying “hey every single person worked hard and made this a great film” they tell everyone that it was one person “only you made this good, just you, no one else was good”. There’s always “best lead” “best supporting” which is stupid, because you’re just telling someone that being the slightly less central character is less important than being central in terms of how much work you put in. And anyway I dont think that the “supporting” actor should even be called that, because they are not there to “support” the lead, they dont serve just to make them look good. 

It’s stupid and self-important.
