Why? Because we have been working on DS&#8217; application letter for his work placement week. His first choice is\u00a0an architect&#8217;s office and we thought it best to make sure he could at least name his favourite architectural style, which it seems\u00a0is Gothic. As you may know, this covers quite a hefty time period and variety of style, thus, we have spent the last couple of hours chatting generally about architectural styles, form and function and the twiddly bits on buildings. He has now gone off to complete his letter, so I&#8217;m taking the opportunity to write\u00a0today&#8217;s post, whilst simultaneously contemplating all possible methods of roasting a lump of pig.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s card is&#8230;the Nine of Wands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3577\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014-181x300.jpg?resize=181%2C300\" alt=\"advent014\" width=\"181\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014.jpg?resize=181%2C300&amp;ssl=1 181w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014.jpg?resize=619%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 619w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014.jpg?resize=800%2C1323&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aniam.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/advent014.jpg?w=909&amp;ssl=1 909w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not the cheeriest of cards, but then that&#8217;s not surprising in a gothic themed deck.
