Red herrings, time-wasters and digressions …
You know that feeling when you trip over something fascinating when you are meant to be looking for something else? Well we do this all the time. A juicy fact pops up and tempts you off at a tangent or down a rabbit hole, away from your main quarry. We call those Footnotes to history and have started to add some to this website. We hope you find them as beguiling as we do.
