Now like a lot of people I have fallen into the orbit of Zoom, and fill part of my week with zoomy chats, zoomy meetings and above all zoomy lectures.
And I have to say if there is any positive thing to come out of this dreadful virus and its restrictions on social interchange, its being able to participate in talks presented by experts on a whole range of topics, from Dane Dare, Pilot of the Future, the music of Cole Porter or the saucy humour of British picture postcards.
Even in normal times, many of these talks would just not be accessible given that the venue was way outside Manchester and at a time which would require a hotel stop over.
And that is certainly the case with the talks hosted by the Guild Hall Library in London.
The first in the year was on Dan Dare, and this week’s will be on The Medieval Precinct of St Paul’s cathedral by Jill Finch, who will explore the “medieval precinct, the builds it contained and the events it saw that made history”.
All events require booking and take place online.
