History and rhyme

Mainly a quick note to draw attention to two history sites I'm sure I should have been aware of before now: Historypin and History Carnival. Must find time to check them out. But also, since I'm here, really impressed that the resident petulant terrorist made up a rhyme today.

Long time no blog, long time no sleep

It's been a while. Apparently it is Christmas in a little over a week's time. It is also the boy's first birthday in a little while longer than that. Somehow, somewhere (this is sounding rapidly like an excerpt from West Side Story), I have lost three months. The boy has started nursery and suffered endless days off nursery with various lurgies. Less than three months ago he couldn't sit up without falling over, now he is speed crawling (the last two days). But, I digress. I really post to share with you a link to Magna Carta, and the Henry III Fine Rolls blog. Lovely.

History: all in the past?

There has been a sad lack of history related posts recently whilst my life was taken over by coxing, so here I direct you a site concerned with the future of archives in Britain.
