    And yet more knowledge taught in an interesting way by a thoroughly nice man, even though I’ve traveled back in time again 🌞

    Moll Flanders is the one that comes first to mind. But l know that I had to do a review on one of his pamphlets at university.

    I hae my doots tthat the Monmouth uprising prisoners were transported to Australia, 4 decades before the birth of Captain Cook. The West Indies and American colonies, more likely.

    Went fishing at the back of the hotel there.
    Caught catfish.
    Later a boat came in with a dogfish.

      @@ScotlandHistoryTours Not at all.
      The big wall kept the wind off me and nothing seemed to be falling in the grey sea.
      Usual sort of summer weather.

      Fine immigrants the catfish. But from the sea?

    Kidnapped?
    Or was that Stephenson?
    I can't recall if honest (any other than RC), it's about 40 years since I read any Defoe!
