"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

It was then they realised that it wasn't the task that was the point, it was the way you used your mind to complete it. But by then, it was all too late....

Today (5th October) is the anniversary of my starting work with the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England in 1981. The beginning of a career drawing old stuff. Although 'retired' I am still drawing old stuff... At a different pace and mostly for fun. #ArchitecturalIllustration

“There are few more beautiful or striking scenes in England than are presented by the vicinity of this ancient Saxon fortress.” When Sir Walter Scott published Ivanhoe in 1819, he transformed Conisbrough Castle into “Coningsburgh”, an imagined ancient seat of Saxon kings. In reality, its great

The 12th-century stone keep and ruined curtain walls of Conisbrough Castle, a medieval fortress located in South Yorkshire. It was built around the 1170s or 1180s by Hamelin Plantagenet, the half-brother of King Henry II. ruins inspired Sir Walter Scott to feature the site as the home of Cedric the Saxon in his famous 1819 novel, Ivanhoe Image: sctkirk CC BY-SA 2.0

Scott had glimpsed the castle from a mail coach in 1811 and was captivated by its romantic appearance. In Ivanhoe, it becomes a meeting place between Saxons and Normans, whose reconciliation symbolises the creation of a shared English identity.

Yet Scott’s vision also reflects the racial thinking of his own age. He portrayed Saxons and Normans as distinct “races”, while the novel contains antisemitic stereotypes, particularly in its portrayal of Isaac of York. At the same time, characters such as Rebecca expose the persecution and prejudice faced by Jews. Modern scholarship therefore sees Ivanhoe as both challenging prejudice and reproducing some of the racial assumptions of the early nineteenth century.

Published in 1819, the year of the Peterloo Massacre, the novel’s theme of reconciliation gave its medieval setting a distinctly contemporary resonance: an imagined past used to explore identity, division and the possibility of unity.

The one we hanker over going to is Prague. There are weekend breaks from London to Prague for the Xmas market, should it be easier to get to London for you. Also London is unequivocally in Europe. It's just not in the political organisation called the EU.

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.
