Dr Who vs Outlander

In the UK Outlander, Book 1, was called Cross Stitch. I still have the original copy that I bought in Salisbury. This book led me to someone who is still a close friend. And she will know this FACT as well as I do. Outlander/Cross Stitch started (or was inspired by) Jamie MacCrimmon from Dr […]

A Ruined Castle’s History of the Real Red Wedding

I owe many thanks to the Desertify Urbex Channel. They have shown me many places in MY Fatherland that I’d never heard of before. And taught me much. The fact that I totally disagree with their MSM History Vibe does NOT take away from their amazing work. I’ve just recommended them on a chan with […]

I have in my possession a very interesting Academic Paper that compares both the architecture and the political systems of 2nd c Ephesus and 15th c Florence. What could these places – well over a thousand years apart – have in common? I quote : In each city, these statements relied on interplay between a […]

If you’ve never watched Top Gear when they went to Botswana this’ll mean NOTHING! A few months back, I got a little old car. Many a previous owner. Purplish blue in colour.

Come on MY Journey?

A bunch of ne’re-do-wells got a break from working (sometimes) 20 hours a day in a dangerous environment. We all piled on a bus that took us from Londonderry to Larne. On a ferry from Larne to Stranraer. (Barf?) Back on a bus from Stranraer to Stirling – where the Lowlands meet the Highlands. A […]

There are Very few things in my life where I’ve come F1RST. A hop and a skip out of my teens I came top in Map Reading in my Army Training. A hop and three skips later – I was orienteering in the Highlands of Scotland. Didn’t come F1RST then. Bloody Highland midges. Unofficial tip […]

The ONLY way a Psychic VAMPIRE can access your carotid is if you INVITE them across the threshold. Ahem! Don’t remember inviting Y’ALL into MY home to suck MY blood and life and work and soul. Like anyone would beI am flattered by your fascination with me…..(And MY home recipes)Like any hot blooded womanI have […]
