Can an eighteenth century blogger fit in to the tech world of the 21st century? On the periphery perhaps. It was an interesting journey and great to be exposed to new forms of social media.It would be nice to reinroduce the whole idea of 'secrets' into the modern world- or maybe that is too old fashioned!! That's all from the Augustan world, KH

Thomas Coram- Foundling Hospital

The charter for the Foundling Hospital was granted in 1739, when Captain Coram was seventy-one years old. The Hospital took in its first infants in March 1741 using temporary premises in Hatton Garden. These premises were vacated in 1745 when the west wing of the newly built Hospital was completed on the Bloomsbury site in Lamb’s Conduit Fields

I may have to ask my best counsel for assistance

Takes Some Mindfulness

Knowledge I Have Gained

* Problems with gmail - for newbies, the prompts are not evident. Once found, it does seem slick!

Senior Blogging (Slogging)

* I fear that the days of quill and pen have past, and alas, one must journey forth into the 21st Century!
