		<title>The death of Johannes Gutenberg &#8211; 3 February 1468</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where would humanity be without the stone axe, the wheel, the plough, the compass and the steam engine?

		<title>100 years since Scott reaches South Pole</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stories of the early polar explorers are some of the most inspirational and moving tales that I know. And so I couldn&#8217;t let the day go by without noting that it was one hundred years ago today, that this photo was taken of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his men at the South Pole.

		<title>My favourite things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I began painting My favourite things last January and it has been hanging around waiting for me to complete it ever since. I finally managed it yesterday.

Egypt’s Mubarak-led police state deposed, Libya’s mad dog Gaddafi fittingly gunned down in a sewer. And the struggle continues for reform in Bahrain, Yemenis fight for their rights, and brave and bullied Syrians [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easter Island stoneheads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lifetime&#8217;s ambition was achieved last month when Moth and I visited Easter Island, the most isolated inhabited place on the planet, rightly famous for its giant stone sculptures. It was a joy to sit and sketch them. On this page of my sketchbook, I drew in the bougainvillea garland I was presented with when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bitten by It Bites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of all the many unsung bands lurking out there in MusicLand, It Bites are up there as possibly the most under-rated progressive rock band in the world.
