1617 – Book of the moment

Over the last few weeks I’ve been reading the book about TED talks, the situation about the Gosport TEDx hasn’t been sorted as far as I’m aware, and that means that I am back onto the history book again. This Tim about the early Stuart Monarchy, with James VI of Scotland not yet crowned king of England.

The first 40 or so pages have been about the state of politics in the British Isles, I don’t know why I’m surprised that things, society, appear to be so well organised. perhaps it was at the kings level, but what was the rest of society like?

Just to go back to TED for a moment, there have been two distinct occasions when I have stood in front of a reasonable (50+) people and delivered a presentation. The last time was 2005 (talks delivered via Teams don’t count in my eyes. The experiences were a little bit stressful, but overall I recall enjoying them.

I’d quite like to have another go.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.
