Well, I made it to the Big Smoke and am now sitting on a very expensive internet connection in the hotel. How come it is so difficult to get a connection in the capital city?
I have spent two days in the National archives at Kew and am steadily ploughing my way through the material, although I don't think I have enough time on this trip to finish it all. I started photographing the material today which is faster than trying to write it all down but I still have to look through all the hand written stuff to see if it is relevant and boy did those Foreign Office guys have bad writing skills!
Tomorrow is my last day so hopefully I will manage to get through a lot more before I leave. Then it is off to Glasgow for the Archives workshop. I might even get time to write the paper I am presenting before I get there!
