Part 2: At the mercy of Stone and Snelling
I'm enjoying your stories very much. Nothing like the realities of the past to make me feel fortunate about the present.
Thank you - I really appreciate that. And yes indeed - though I shall try not to make every story a gloomy one!
Interesting that the benefits of green tea were appreciated in those times.
Yes, I thought that too! I wonder what the history of that is (one for another time...).
Such a shame that the original of the diary went overseas.
There was a project to transcribe them all at least - see http://thomasturner.org.uk - though it looks like it may have stalled.
