 I wrote a brief history of the English village of Horndean. It was once called Dormouse Valley. 


Cookies

 4 December is National Cookie Day. This is my history of biscuits

Christmas Pudding

 Christmas pudding was once called plum pudding or plum pottage (plum was a generic term, it included raisins and sultanas). But it was eaten all through the year. In the 19th century, it became associated with Christmas and people began calling it Christmas pudding.


Godalming

 I wrote the history of the old town of Godalming in Surrey
