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:
The Diary of Samuel Pepys
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.
March 2010
I have decided to shrug off the lingering Winter and look forward to Spring and therefore have
chosen:
BBC2 Spring Watch Website
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.
Harveys: Sussex's Oldest Independent brewery founded in 1790
May 2010
To celebrate their first fifty years, I have chosen one of the best known Railway Preservation
Society's in Britain and the world famous railway that they run:
Blue Bell Railway
Although located in West Sussex, this is worth a visit from wherever you live in United Kingdom.
June 2010
This month I have decided that it is time to visit another beautiful part of the British Isles,
not only
somewhere to take a break, but you may end up wanting to live there.
Welcome to the Shetland Isles and
the site of the month:
Visit Shetland org
If you then start thinking about moving there, well the very first thing to do is check out
the:
