My old Blogger blogs

I started blogging last year on Blogger, before taking to WordPress and my own domain. John Barnabas Leith was the predecessor to Barnabas Quotidianus.

The Notting Hill Carnival, Hadrian’s Wall, the mini-skirt, cricket, Morris dancing and the pub have all been added to a list celebrating icons of England.

Blackpool Tower, the Eden Project, Big Ben and York Minster are also among 21 new additions to the list.
