UK: Giant Sun-Dial [Wakefield Gardens] – Outside the South Exit of Tower Hill Tube Stop! (1.8.2026)

As such, we completely missed this giant sun-dial and were not aware of its presence. Yesterday, (31.7.2026) we visited the Tower Bridge – which allowed us to leave the Tube by its other exit – thus permitting a close-up encounter with the giant sun-dial. The children have seen the sun-dial at the former home of Charles Darwin in Kent – so they were aware of the mechanism and the science behind its functioning. What impressed them (and us) was the sheer scale of this structure. Everyone attempts to get the best and all inclusive photographs. We have always followed the idea that the more the children physically experience – the greater will be their progressive thinking capacity! This sun-dial is fascinating to encounter – similar to finding a maze! London – like England – is full of these kinds of things and we are lucky to live so close to it all!

Was Stonehenge the Epi-Centre of Hyperborea?

Email: Was Stonehenge the Epicentre of “Hyperborea”? (30.6.2026)

However, I think the Druids may well be pre-Celtic – and yet still existed in Britain when the Romans arrived – living quite happily amongst the Celts. Indeed, the two cultures – the “Druid” and the “Celtic” appear to have peacefully co-existed and nourished one another. Whereas the Druids and Celts viewed the Romans as being “foreign” and “incompatible” – these two cultures viewed one another as mutually reinforcing. Greek explorers probably reached the British Isles a long time ago – when its weather was humid (even tropical), the population small, and the food plentiful. Stonehenge was built around 3000 BCE – so everything was inn-place for an idyllic interpretation and the construction in the Greek imagination of the a mythically “perfect” place. The Greek words “ὑπέρ Βορέᾱ” – can be translated as “Hyper” (“Beyond”) “Borea” (the “North”) – or perhaps “Over the Northern-Sea”.

UK: Review – Battle of New Orleans (Audible]! (24.6.2026)

Let us not forget the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders – those Kilted Celts – who advanced across the open field in New Orleans with bagpipes blaring and drums a banging! After the battle, the American rebels described how the British soldiers had died with arms, legs, and heads blown-off – whilst the wounded sat (or lay) laughing – trying to regain their their often non-existent feet – and still follow orders to advance! How difference this behaviour was to the average American soldier who often ran-away in the face of the enemy. The British had freed US slaves and intended to build a country for Native Americans – but the nefarious Americans put an end to all these utopian ideas. Not only this, but Mississipi, Louisiana, and Florida wanted to secede from the US and join “British North America” (Canada) – even if Spain re-established sovereignty over those areas.

Scots on the March - US 1815

US: The Tartan Army Marched in Boston – Remember the Highlanders Who Marched in New Orleans! (21.6.2026)

Many Spanish, French and Native Americans wanted Florida and Louisiana to secede from the Union and become part of British Canada – and we would have been happy to have them! Arriving in Louisiana on December 23rd, 1814, the British Army was comprised of nearly 8,000 experienced soldiers – including 962 men from the 93rd (Sutherland) Highlanders. The battle plan to march up the Mississippi River and capture the city. The Scots knew a frontal assault was required and were completely unafraid and confident they would prevail over the ill-disciplined enemy. Although very well executed – in the end the front assault was disastrous as it came up against the American defensive earthworks at the Rodriguez Canal (Chalmette). Scotmen could be heard falling upon their deflating bagpipes – making an eery noise. Many Scots fell into the kneeling position with their bayoneted musket dug into the ground at the stock-end with jutting blade at 45 degrees – held in place by their upright dead bodies. This was a tactic taught in infantry school to scare the enemy. As a true Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt – this surprised many US soldiers (Celts used to strip naked to fight the enemy). Finally, I am Irish on my Dad’s side (the Irish wear a different type of tartan) [Kilmurray] and Scottish on my mother’s side (Gibson).

Conveyance Title - 71 Mount Pleasant Road, Brixhan

Brixham: Framed 1920 Conveyance Deed – Kai-Lin Helped Me Read It! (3.4.2026)

Today, such people are “preserved” as a “right” – as their presence helps us understand our own human history (the Celts – my ethnicity – used to strip naked, get drunk, and cover themselves in shit before a battle). But I digress. In the bedroom our two daughters are occupying – the above legal document has been “framed” and hung on the wall for all to see and admire. Indeed, until, this morning, none of us had actually noticed it. In 2026, this second-floor building (“71a” is beneath us) is termed “Rock Hopper” – and this is the name used in all the advertising literature. The back yard is a narrow strip of land – but I suspect that “71” and “71a” were originally one and the same dwelling. The steep rock-face at the end of the garden turns-out to be the edges of an old quarry – whatever that was used for – probably prior to these houses being built on a steep and narrow hill (incline).

Perkin Warbeck

UK: Was Perkin Warbeck the True King Richard IV? (24.3.2026)

I mention this as large swathes of the UK retain a very strong Celtic identity. This includes Cornwall – one of the places that Perkin Warbeck landed with a small army that was immediately joined by the uprising Cornish people. The Cornish had risen-up earlier in 1497 against Henry VVII’s plans to go to war with Scotland – why should Celts fight Celts? Although the Tudors were from Wales (a Celtic country) – I believe they may be the descendants of the Roman officials that used to govern the area. Despite this, the Tudors tended to side with the English (Germanic) power-base. Whatever the case, I think the man we are told is “Perkin Warbeck” was in fact “Richard Plantagenet” or “King Richard IV” of England – the rightful King. The above documentary dramatizes the recorded interviews held between the English Authorities and “Perkin Warbeck”. He was crowned “King Richard IV” on Bodmin Moor and he then led an army that took Exeter – and then moved on to Taunton – where he was defeated and arrested. Following intense torture – this man was forced to deny his royal birth. He was then hanged like a common criminal at Tyburn.
