#OnThisDay. 19th July 1545, The Mary Rose sank during the Battle of the Solent, just a few miles from the coast of Portsmouth.
Of her 500 crew, only around 30-40 were saved. The Mary Rose Museum is dedicated to those who lost their lives that day.

When President Zelensky is next in the company of Trump or Vance - why not ask them how they’d feel if Putin’s troops crossed the Bering Sea & invaded the USA? It’s only about 12 miles, so perfectly possible. Maybe, only maybe, only then might they begin to understand how ‘being invaded’ feels!

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity
Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely the Second Coming is at hand
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
Are full of passionate intensity
Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely the Second Coming is at hand
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert

I was introduced to this poem recently:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

You've heard of Boudica - the warrior Queen in Britain who led a revolt against the Romans. Well, she probably wasn't alone.
DNA analysis of another tribe shows that it was built along women's blood lines - with daughters inheriting land and wealth. My story here - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Land and wealth in Celtic Britain centred on women - DNA analysis
DNA analysis suggests Iron Age societies in Britain were built around women rather than men.
