Free lectures...

For Christmas I was given a book - Secret London. Although - having lived and worked in London for many years - much of the content of this book was not exactly "secret" to me, there are some things I had not come across, and some good ideas for walks too. This week we have been to two free lectures organised by Gresham College. One (on  mathematics) was at the Barnard's Inn venue and the other (on astronomy) at the Museum of London. We've never been to Barnard's Inn before, and had never been to the lecture theatre at the Museum of London either, so both were new venues - and the lectures were excellent too. The weather (bitterly cold wind) was not, however, conducive to taking long walks, so we've not yet extended the "Secret London" idea to discovering many other new places. Of course, transport was free using our cards...
