		<description><![CDATA[I have just re-discovered some great snaps from the filming of Channel4’s feature-length documentary Shackleton. The photographs are taken in the Denmark Strait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark_Strait a narrow body of water between Iceland and Greenland. The sequence of images shows us forcing our way into the ice pack, distinctive for the ‘pancake’ ice floes, which can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the link to my dinner party piece for the Daily Telegraph &#8211; in which I was allowed to invite six guests from the entirety of history. Hmmmm. Tricky. In fact it becomes significantly more tricky the more that you think about it. Rather disappointingly they edited out the rather important fact that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is some footage from the NBC America Who Do You Think You Are? shoot, when I got to tell Edie Falco (Carmela Soprano) that she is Cornish! Great day&#8217;s sailing on the Earl of Pembroke on a squally January day in Cornwall. Stunning stuff. It is not shown here but Edie was awesome and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always think that people who dig really deep into their family history &#8211; and I am not talking just a few generations here &#8211; are brave. I am not sure that I have it in me. I also enjoy the unresolved feeling of potential. There are vague rumors in our family of Irish Horse Thieves and [...]]]></description>

Several fine examples remain, including the ensign flown by Lord Howe at the Glorious First of June, worn by the wind, bleached by the sun and torn by French gunfire.]]></description>

It is an era in which so little was known and yet so much was attempted. Our knowledge of the seventeenth century is slowly expanding but still remains clouded in mystery and any new discovery [...]]]></description>
