See

and his activities in Venezuela in 1806 and how he fell foul of Congress, and the reasons given for his censure.

He had a holiday with his new wife in my Essex village in 1786.

So strange!

Got lots of Tits outside on a Hydrangea these last few weeks. Flitting blessings. (One Robin this morning, who looked grumpy)

We have just passed the Winter Solstice, so from now on it's that little bit lighter every day 🌄

For now though, daylight hours remain short. Stay safe with our guide to cycling in the dark 👉 buff.ly/ZW9WGgP

I've just been researching Hutton Poplars near Shenfield Station here in #Essex. A children's home project fronted by George Lansbury, opened in 1907!

Know how you feel. I broke a tooth the other week, but my nice dentist did a splendid filling job. I can smile again!
