Family here again this week. My eldest got me down to the Londoon Archives near the Angel, which I know nothing about. There was an interesting lecture from the archiviist Rachel Barratt on John Keats who, of course, was a Londoner. Blackwood Magazine even tried to rubbish him as a poet of the Cokney School. She went through his life using the variouos archives available to chart the course. About twenty gathered and others were online. Lotsof queestions at the end. We then joined the family for a picnic lunch in the Spa Fields park. Lovely time.
