Elizabethan London

Elizabethan London
Tyburn was an infamous execution spot west of London, used since medieval times. The Tyburn "tree" - a unique, multi-person gallows - erected in 1571 became a popular public spectacle, drawing crowds of thousands.Tyburn Tree blog is less blood-thirsty but hopefully topical, interesting and informative, if slightly bent to my personal topics of interest - books, writing, history, technology, with a smattering of politics and dash of pop culture, science and the downright strange. So "take a ride to Tyburn" and see what happens...

Vieux Montreal

We were recently in Montreal for a Bantam hockey tournament (before their record dump of snow).

If you have ever had the opportunity to roam Montreal, I highly recommend making sure you tour through the Vieux Montreal area, in particular la Basilique Notre-Dame is well worth a look.

Pics are below, along with a couple shots of the boys hockey action.  Not a great tournament result for the team, but much fun had by all!
