This week I have learned: that the Royal Geological Society in London has one of the most "No, we are closed, go away" front doors in London. They are, though, open and the library inside the building is a joy to behold. the importance of spending time in inspirational locations. The RGS followed by the … Continue reading Weeknote 669: TBD
This week I have learned: the sad news that my "football dad" Roger passed away after many years of ill health. In the 1970s, growing up in Watford, something magical was happening in the town which, to be blunt, lacked any sense of identity plonked as it was on the outskirts of great London.
