This image is a Parliamentary illustration titled "The English and Scotts Armies at first ready to fight lovingly embrace each other and part kinde friends". It depicts a scene related to the Pacification of Berwick during the Bishops' Wars in 1639, where the two armies negotiated a truce instead of engaging in battle.

I Spent the Day in a 17th Century Village, Little Woodham

 Stepping Back in Time: A Visit to Little Woodham, the 17th Century Village

Hidden away in the leafy heart of Gosport, Hampshire, lies a place where time seems to have stood still. Little Woodham, also known as The Seventeenth Century Village, is a remarkable living history museum that transports visitors straight into the 1640s — the turbulent years of the English Civil War.

 40 years ago this May my family and I took part in its first week-long living history near Gosport at a reconstructed 17th century hamlet. ECWS> It had been going a few years but it was new to us. I didn't drive then so my folks dropped us off and picked us up a week later.  We had access to the swimming baths to freshen up. I was new at this kind of thing so I was a trained band pikeman. We had a child and a young baby who was used as a prop in various shenanigans of the 'who is the father?' type thing. We met a lot of people. Some we still know now. Quite an education. Little Woodham is still going strong and is very popular. Little Woodham - Wikipedia

Armada campaign Osprey Elite

 A book that was very timely was this one which came out in 1988. John Tincey and Richard Hook. My copy is a bit grubby as it's an ex Library book and cost me about 50p. Richard Hook is one of my favourite Osprey artists.

Spanish Armada Ladybird

 A new addition for my modest Ladybird books collection. Art by Peter Dennis. I actually had this - I bought it in 1988 as we were doing events for the period and I liked the artwork but lost it along the way so I was dead chuffed when Susan picked it up for me just now.
