Last night I finished Queen Elizabeths bedfellows. Naturally, the final moments of the book were around her death in 1603, and what happened. The description of the events were a tad off-putting, but are a matter of record, very detailed record.
I should now be moving on to King James (VI of Scotland, I of England) but I’ve not found the right book yet, or even made the decision to go straight to Charles I. This is the period that I have mainly been interested in, although I don’t think I’ll stop there with Pepys & Cromwell on the horizon.
In the meantime. I’ve moved forward a ways in time and have decided to read a book that I’ve been chomping at the bit to get at; Joshua Howgego’s The Meteorite Hunters. Actually, hunting for meteorites is quite easy, especially as there’s a pretty good chance you have some in your back garden (assuming you have one – the flat roof of a block of flats is even better). It’s finding the little so-and-so’s that’s the problem, think small (0.3mm would be quite big).
I’ve quite fancied doing some meteorite hunting myself. The main tool is a powerful magnet, and they are quite reasonably priced on Amazon. Shall we go hunting meteorites?
