About the North is an ongoing investigation of historical and geographic matters relating to the North.
Interesting Times is an examination of themes and events over the past sixty years, sorting them into a wider context - the collapse of the five Cs I see as characterising the society in which I grew up. Much of what’s currently included is drawn from the ubiquitous Google and the Wikipedia as I've taken my recollections, checked with on-line sources to get the chronology and proceeded from there, adding detail as I run across relevant material in the course of my reading.
