I've just finished my Big Edits. I have spent *much* more time looking at my 1914 calendar than 2014.

I keep dipping back into the Great War and the 1920s with H.G. Wells.

Wells- unexpectedly- writes very well about that period.

I'm a historian, we know these things, although I suspect that I spend as much time in the 17th century as the 21st these days! :o)

I can think of worse centuries to hang out in.
