Turn back the clock

Don't we ALL wish we could? Well, maybe, but thousands of lecturers, teachers, assorted academics and writers might all have to re-think their discipline if history became variable to suit the mood of the moment and personal choice so maybe it's not such a good idea!

However, this is a weekend when I've very much thought of heritage, tradition and "Britishness". I hope to publish more thoughts on this later. For the moment, I'm realising there's more to this wonderful business of blogging than meets the eye- I hope I'm getting there, but I still haven't figured out exactly to get the right time stamp on these postings! Bloggers own settings seem to take no account of British Summer Time, so I've set this for the moment to CET- which is probably why it is wrong below. It's actually 2.26 p.m though, so I must go or else I'll miss the once-a-year chance to visit some rarely opened properties on this the second day of the annual HERITAGE OPEN DAYS event. For some bizarre reason, the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames prefers to observe it's Surrey heritage than go in with the rest of Greater London next weekend, but maybe that's no bad thing!
