In 1675, #Onthisday, King Charles II and John Flamsteed laid the foundation stone of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, on a site chosen by Christopher Wren. Since then, it played a major role in the history of #astronomy and navigation.

Today much of England and Wales will see temperatures peak between 30 and 34ºC. What would be your outdoor suggestion of a #staycation this weekend?

#TheGlobe theatre burnt down in 1613 during a production of William #Shakespeare #HenryVIII. The fire was apparently started by a misdirected canon shot that set its thatched roof ablaze. @The_Globe

@BarristerSecret Congratulations. I'm so looking forward to reading this. Duly ordered. @middletemple @lincolnsinn @TheInnerTemple @HonSocGraysInn @thebarcouncil @sra_solicitors (End notes are more attractive for wider audience 👍 Footnotes -which I prefer- are for academics & pedagogy...📖💜)

I just can't wait!!!
