Here is something that I have never done before, and I don’t know why.
I buy a lot of books that I think may be useful for reference purposes. But, how do I know whether they will be really useful? Obviously, you need to get at least an overview of what the book is about, and what it contains. I am also exploring different methods for mapping books.
Why am I doing this now? Well, I have a project in mind that was inspired by my attendance on the u3a Archaeology online group. A lady there did a presentation on fashion during the Neolithic times, for which, it turns out, there is a fair bit of evidence.
My though was; is there a topic in which I am sufficiently interested such that I could even consider doing a presentation that would last an hour. Well, it turns out there is. It is going to take me a fair bit of time to work out whether the idea is a good one (of course, I think it is), but it may turn out to just not work. Either way, I need to understand what the two books I have, so far, are telling me.
The picture is from our visit on Sunday to Hillier’s Gardens. Wat an excellent day out, with a lovely casual stroll through gardens in late winter are still beginning to burst in to life and colour. Definitely well worth a visit later in the year (I don’t know the people in hte picture, they just happened to be there, and I didn’t think they were out of place).
