Am an aficionado of the books, the weblogs and the interesting and absorbing research on London; particularly on yr speciality, the Victorian era.<br /><br />If one is tethered to a place for a period, London ain't half a lively place to be confined to.

I'm always open to offers of paid speaking engagements; and it does depend a bit on the question of location/travel.Lee Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812128348822569086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458031571764013912.post-54147273152466866892010-04-14T10:29:00.883-07:002010-04-14T10:29:00.883-07:00Hope you get around to giving this and similar tal...Hope you get around to giving this and similar talks, in museums and towns outside of London?(Lorna Bell)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458031571764013912.post-36230036115329281292010-04-09T20:24:39.545-07:002010-04-09T20:24:39.545-07:00Sounds like a great talk!
