Out of Time: Perversions of history and a surfeit of Tudors

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2015/01/perversions-of-history-and-surfeit-of.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Perversions of history and a surfeit of Tudors. We are a contentious lot! I have been enjoying the TV adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and in my little world I could not imagine the arguments and vitriol this has stimulated in the press! He was a reformer-true and disliked Rome-but nowhere does Mantel suggest he is admirable. She humanises him, but why not? So what do I think of Wolf Hall?

Out of Time: Coming up for air

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2015/06/coming-up-for-air.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Tuesday, 9 June 2015. Coming up for air. Sometimes you have to wonder what life is all about! Things move on at breakneck pace and you seem to be so busy you actually don't accomplish much. Sometimes you have a time in life when things happen around you, but impact massively on what you are doing and you seem to lose any control that you might have had. I have acquired a new job too! How lucky am I? Granted I am not earning me...

Out of Time: Just when you thought it was all over...

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2014/08/just-when-you-thought-it-was-all-over.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Just when you thought it was all over. I am afraid I have not blogged for some time for a number of reasons-work, family and busy. I had hoped I would be jolly and philosophical but no I am back to being Mrs Angry of Barrow with a splash of Emmeline Pankhurst and Bouddicca! I apologise in advance! Yes down stream to the abbey itself! Exchange a playground for a heritage conservation area! Blogs about t...

Out of Time: Dreaded marketing, ICT and social media

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2013/01/dreaded-marketing-ict-and-social-media.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Thursday, 24 January 2013. Dreaded marketing, ICT and social media. Google community, circles, hangouts.all new to me and as incomprehensible as Stephen Hawking's theory of everything! However you can't say I don't try.despite my age and lack of skill in these matters. I pride my self in being an erudite facebooker and tweeter and I am even Linkedin.but I must say Google is a mystery! I have a great following of kids and adult...

Out of Time: Remembering. Dangerous? Disrespectful? Disappointing?

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2014/11/remembering-dangerous-disrespectful.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Thursday, 13 November 2014. Ben Cowan 4/7 Dragoons. How would I have watched them go in the first place? Then, looking at the thousands of graves stretching across France, how many other mothers must have suffered just like my great grandmother? Suddenly, the impact hit and I could see the vast enormity and horror of what had happened so long ago. William Cowan 1st Border Regiment. Gunner John Wilkinson RGA. Personally, I thin...

Out of Time: Drowning in a sea of litter

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2014/04/drowning-in-sea-of-litter.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Wednesday, 16 April 2014. Drowning in a sea of litter. I was walking to Furness Abbey yesterday-picture it-blue sky, green grass, blossom emerging and families taking advantage of the sun. I walked past a group of young people who were picnicking with their children. Laughter rang through the air, children played and ran freely and safely-a picturesque scene! Once again I despaired of my fellow townsfolk! I posted on Facebook ...

Out of Time: Boudicca rides again!

http://gilljep-outoftime.blogspot.com/2014/03/boudicca-rides-again.html

Authory" musings about writing, books, education, history and life in general. Wednesday, 12 March 2014. I seem to be turning into a cross between Boudicca and Emmeline Pankhurst as I get older and I am not altogether pleased with the effect! I can't help myself -if I see injustice, suffering or liberty threatened I'm on my soapbox rallying the troops! So what's the problem you might ask? Oswestry Hillfort is one of the greatest archaeological monuments of the nation." English Heritage". If you want to s...
