I believe that we also used to calculate the year from the start of the monarch's reign. So, what with churchmen using their own calendar etc. etc. one could be forgiven for wondering what day is was!! And, of course, it remains today with the muslim and judaic calendars following very different schedules.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations too on being a fellow recipient of CG's award!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165738746874080782.post-50478019412078158932009-01-03T11:34:00.000+00:002009-01-03T11:34:00.000+00:00Chris - I was so sorry to hear about Roy's passing...Chris - I was so sorry to hear about Roy's passing. He was a truly fascinating chap and a lovely man who connected me with many of the friends and colleagues I now have. I hope that in future blogs you will share some of the fantastic, amazing, hilarious stories involving your dad and his extraordinary career. They deserve to fill a book all of their own. Let's hope that 2009 proves to be a year for you and the family that Roy would take great joy from. xStevyn Colganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152745065245344159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165738746874080782.post-71159729007069561852009-01-03T02:40:00.000+00:002009-01-03T02:40:00.000+00:00PSI have something for you on my blog!
