Found this book at Trago Mills in Cornwall - what a nice find!

Wow - today I’m reaching the point of finishing a rather large chapter about Roanoke colony. Definitely need to edit it down from 13k words!

I think I’m tired of Calibri as a font. But Aptos is intriguing me.

Managed to spend a couple of hours reading into different theories about what happened to the Roanoke colonists. All of them appear very grim.

I enjoyed a couple of hours wandering around Hackney Marshes near Newton Abbot, Devon.

Just spent two hours writing one paragraph for my new Raleigh book! Lots of fact checking and diving into the works of the imperialist promoter Richard Hakluyt.

I continue to visit the squares within Dartmoor 365. Here’s Sheepstor village (R6) from last summer.

Whilst reading Paul Theroux's The Happy Isles of Oceania, I came across the Coconut War of 1980. A perfect reason for a short blogpost! https://t.co/qrDZLGprJZ
