Sites of the Month for 2010: January to June

Site of the Month January 2010

Whilst there are some historically important anniversaries in January 2010 including the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles (except USA), officially marking the end of World War I. I have chosen to celebrate the 350th anniversary of a man writing the first (known) entry in his diary:

Site of the Month for February 2010

The one day in February most people remember is associated with Saint Valentine on the 14th of the Month. These days any link with the Saint has become tenuous and: Valentine's Day has become the day on which lovers express their love for each other. It has also become extremely commercialised, and the sites I investigated were too commercial for site of the Month. So instead I have chosen:

Secret World - Animal Rescue

Based in Somerset, Secret World is a registered charity and regularly receives National UK Media coverage for its work on returning rescued Otters, Badgers, other Animals and Birds to the Wild.

Site of the Month for April 2010

April is the month when the Farnham Beerex is held and this will be its 34th Year! So perhaps it is no surprise that this Month I have chosen one of my favourite Brewers: Harveys of Lewes and used the banner image to Highlight my favourite Pub: The Red Lion at Turners Hill, which was my local for 28 years and the range of marvellous beers brewed by Harveys.
