My blog today is about Mary Delany - creator of remarkable 'paper mosaiks' ie collages of flowers, made from coloured tissue paper. They are remarkable and a touring exhibition set up by the British Museum is an excellent chance to see the pictures. mikerendell.com/mary-delany-im…

It wouldn't be Christmas without party games - and they don't get better (ie worse) than The Old Family Coach. See mikerendell.com/a-game-to-play…

Yea! My book on 'William Bligh - that Bounty bastard' hits the streets today! Yet to see my author's copy but it's always an exciting time. I seemed to have finished writing it ages and ages ago (am now well into my NEXT book, on 18thC food and drink). Thank you, Pen & Sword!
