The Pale Horseman.On page 92 the women milked cows churned the butter,span wool.I left school at fifteen but I thought that span was distance such as over a gorge.In other words the women spin wool,are spinning wool or have spun wool.I bring this up as it is the third time recently that this word appeares to me to have been misused.In a motor magazine and in the Sunday Times by Jeremy Clarkson both span their cars.Would you agree with me.I do enjoy your books,particularly the Arthur,Grail quest and now the Saxon series.If you find time to reply that would be appreciated.
