January 2009
For this January I have chosen a blog that covers British Defence matters which is often critical, but with great insight.
The Defence of the Realm Blog
I normally avoid making a Blog site of the month, but not to include this one would be churlish.
February 2009
For this month I have chosen to celebrate the:
International Year of Astronomy 2009
By Selecting the IYA2009 United Kingdom Site as Site of the Month.
Also see:
International Year of Astronomy 2009 - Worldwide Site
March 2009
This month I wanted a site with an technology heritage theme and decided to select the:
Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester
as Site of the Month
April 2009
This month sees the holding of the
33rd
Farnham Beerex
and as I have been to 31 so far and I am looking forward to my visit this year. Therefore it should be
no surprise that this month I have chosen a site that is directly related to Beer:
Sharp's Brewery
which produces one of my favourite Beers:
Doom Bar
.
May 2009
May the 4th
is the 30th
Anniversary of Margaret Thatcher becoming Prime Minister.
Whatever ones views on the Lady and her policies, she was not only the first Woman
Prime Minister, but changed Britain and British Politics dramatically.
I have therefore chosen a site that in detail covers the Lady, her Politics, Time in Government
and later life:
Margaret Thatcher Foundation
June 2009
The 6thJune 2009 marks the 65th anniversary
of the D-Day Landing in Normandy. For the 60th
anniversary I chose
D-Day - 06th June 1944
as site of the month. This time I have decided to mark this anniversary with the English
version of a French Site by Patrick Elie:
D-Day - Operation Overlord - Landings and Battle of Normandy
The French Language version of this site is here:
D-Day - Normandie 44 : Etat des Lieux - Débarquement et Bataille de Normandie
