“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Well. That’s distressing!!! When researching, I go back as far as the sources available to me at a certain point in time can take me. Today finds me on page 1 of a book printed in the 19th c (an English translation of the original French…woohoo!) It starts well. Using the ancient Greek sources (?) […]
HEARTBREAK HILL was a couple of minutes walk from our house. A long, steep incline that they had to run up. In full kit. Fully weaponed up. With himself standing at the top shouting encouragement and/or insults at them. My boys – aged 4 and 6 would run up that hill like sprites. Stand at […]
God’s Honest. I have NEVER watched QOC before. I’ve heard him talked about many times. That is usually a massive RED FLAG aka Stay Away. But… …Matt showed up in my feed for the 1st time ever today so I thought, What the hey. Give him a chance. OK. Against…some of his sayings/accents are all […]

Yup. I’m WEIRD. I’ve always known that. I do all the stuff listed below. What has totally freaked me out these past 2/3 years is the fact that I can still FEEL all this through my laptop. Which is why I’m perfectly fine with 24 subs, 1 view a week and zero comments right now. […]
I have read and/or listened to just about every novel that Phil Rickman has written. Apart from his John Dee ones! The Remains of an Altar has stayed with me for many reasons. You have an ex-SAS soldier who is now a churchman. You have Merrily doing her Deliverance stuff. You have the ghost of […]
…If you invite them in. Your problem. Not MINE! The phrase “bell, book, and candle” refers to a Latin Christian method of excommunication by anathema, imposed on a person who had committed an exceptionally grievous sin. Evidently introduced by Pope Zachary around the middle of the 8th century, the rite was once used by the Roman […]
CHOPIN The Raindrop Prelude. I am NOT making this up. If I was – how could I prove the same thing time and again? ? ?

If the Turgot 1739 map didn’t impress, how about Agas Map1572, London. In the image above from the Elizabethan 1572 map you will see Somerset Place on the river, next to the Savoy. I used Turgot to walk my characters around Paris and this map to do the same in London. By 1625, when Marie […]
Let’s take this further…And EVERYTHING POSTED HERE, NOW, can be confirmed in previous posts! The UAP Channel Linkages : Sarah Tonen – He wrote a song to her and she is the one who gave Jon Levi inside info on Andronicus Comnenus, which I challenged in real time and Mr Levi pulled his video. Amanda […]
Yesterday I suggested that someone study the 1739 Turgot map of Paris. It’s very telling. I have used this map many times to walk my characters around the city. The image above is the part most used. If you expand the view, you will see the Rue Saint Thomas du Louvre between the Louvre and […]
