Thanks for that, Frank, although it's bit 'coals to Newcastle' in my case, as I've always been a bit of a History buff meself......although I will admit to being mainly interested in the Tudor & Victorian eras.
Btw, I see folklore as being fiction in the main & history being well documented fact.
With you there David although I was interested in the Persian Empire and early Greek, quite a lot of that is documented and some folk lore which when you consider a lot of the books written about those times came hundreds of years later as written down folk stories it makes you wonder, thank goodness for Archeology. It drives me mad to read books written about the war by young researchers that get it all so wrong, we all have our crosses to bear.
I have news on the weather front-have now heard and read from 3 separate sources that come the weekend perhaps, just maybe, who knows -Summer is coming -according to my local forecast a week Tuesday-9 days time- it will be 26C-no guarantees and no refunds- usual t&c's apply
No rain so far today managed to potter in the garden as knee is still bad from falling over in the mud at allotment. Actually got the washing dry outside and cut the lawn. Think tomorrow is also going to be good but not crossing my fingers. So lovely to see the sunshine and have the backdoor open.
I really hope not Geoff, I can't imagine that in spandex think I would regurgitate my meals for the past 6 months, anyway, the weather here has been lovely again, plenty of sunshine and nice and warm again 17.5c, the wind is picking up a bit now and there are some grey clouds rolling in from the West still quite warm at 15.8c and at long last the ground is drying out.
