I had originally planned to take last Thursday and Friday and Friday off work, so as to do research on the Nicholas White/William Cecil correspondence in the National Archives and British Library, and also take in the Tun on Thursday night. But alas, events gradually conspired against me; an important meeting in Brussels was scheduled for Thursday morning, the National Archives are closed, and I have two VIP visitors coming next week whose agendas need preparation, so in the end I settled for buying two books about William Cecil second-hand off the internets. I will probably try this trip early next year though, so possibly see some of you in the Melton Mowbray on 5 February.
Meantime, have a couple of links:

Anagrams: Howl hesitancy. Welsh China toy. I watch shy Noel.
I can see how that could be; I don’t claim any authenticity for my pronunciation, simply that it is different from the ‘o’ in ‘Lord’. 😉
