Redheads, dead bishops and smelly old books...

Hello!

This is my first message to my first blog, so I'm not quite sure where I'm going to go with it - but as they say, the fun is in the journey...

Twenty-odd years ago my (now) wife described my interests as 'redheads, dead bishops and smelly old books'.  They haven't changed much, so expect these to figure in this blog (though I'll leave the redheads as there are plenty of those website out there).  I dare say the Daily Telegraph obits column will feature strongly as will any interesting naval history I come across and the travails of a medal collector who can't afford to buy medals.

Let's see how it goes...
