I made a petition to try to save a 3,500 year old grave in Västerbotten, Sweden.

Swedish Authorities want to build a railway right through it. Please consider signing so that we can stop this madness.

Also, as some people have previously asked me about the word Wassail;

Old English had two verbs for 'be', these were wesan (Dutch wezen, Frisian wêze, Icelandic/Faroese/Swedish vera, Danish/Norwegian være) and of course bēon. Much like the word 'go', OE gān, which has taken the past tense 'went' from 'wend', OE wendan, modern English 'be' is a suppletive verb, thus it has merged the infinitive of bēon (along with the past participle been from OE gebēon, West Midlands dialects still use such forms like "How bist?"), with the regular forms from wesan (am, art, is, are (from Old Norse eru > earon, replacing the earlier sind, like German), was, wert and were).

The imperative form is wes, equivalent to 'be', so one would assume that the phrase 'wassail' is from Anglo-Saxon wes hǣl ('be well!', you can also add pronouns wes þū hāl 'be thou hale' or plural wesað gē hāle, 'be ye hale',both of which are attested in Old English) however there is a problem.

Most spellings of hǣl are hāl, which has become modern English 'hale' and 'whole', the latter has a silent W added (likely to avoid confusion with 'hole'), but all are related to words like 'health', 'heal' and even 'holy' and 'hallow'. While it is possible that the phrase comes from dialects using wes hǣl, it is more likely that the same phrase from Old Norse replaced Old English forms, using the more familiar vowel sounds in ves heill, and this was first documented in 1275.

Some OE bee related words-

Pollen collected by bees was known as bēobrēad (bee bread) whilst the queen bee was the bēomōdor (bee mother). A swarm of bees was known as a bēogang. They were all looked after by the beoceorl (beekeeper).

The name Beowulf can mean Bee-Wulf, perhaps a kenning for Bear.

And finally, Beoley (pronounced Beeley), an English village near Birmingham was recorded in the Domesday book as Beoleahe - a name which in OE means 'bee meadow'.
