October 7th 1782 saw the birth of Charles McLaren, one of the founders of the Scotsman newspaper.
Born in Ormiston in East Lothian, the son of John Maclaren, a farmer, and Christian Muckle. He became a mercantile clerk in Edinburgh, and then a customs official. In 1817, he and solicitor William Ritchie decided to publish a weekly paper, The Scotsman, because they felt that the existing papers were too biased. The Scotsman would offer “impartiality, firmness and independence”. They were joined by William’s brother, John, who helped finance the project, and the economist, John Ramsey McCulloch, who later became professor of Political Economy at University College London.
Maclaren was editor of the paper from 1820 until 1845. In 1820, he was appointed editor of the sixth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. From 1864-1866 he was president of the Edinburgh Geological Society.
Late in life, in January 1842, MacLaren married Jean Veitch Somner (1804-1871), the daughter of Richard Somner, a farmer, and Jean Veitch, She was the widow of David Hume, nephew of the famous philosopher. At the time of the marriage, Charles was 60 and Jean was 37. Charles died in 1866 at his home, 15 Northumberland Street, and Jean died five years later. Both are commemorated on a memorial in The Grange Cemetery.
The bust of McLaren is in the National Portrait Gallery

21/04/24. Another day in Paris. It was an early start, I was out of bed at 5:30am and by the time we got back in the evening it was after 7pm. Boy was I tired! However, I am going to Paris for the next part of the CAR-T cell therapy on Thursday April 25. I should be staying in the hospital in Paris for 3-4 weeks. I am just praying that the food is good.
Now it’s time to do my tax return as it has to be completed by May 23 and I don’t want to send an email saying I am in hospital again! I have all of the information it is just a case of finding where to put it on the forms.
Had a catch up chat with Rosie who lives In Poitou-Charentes. Anie messaged to see if she could visit, she brought me a delightful bunch of muguet. While I was checking on a crumble I was cooking, there was a knock on the door. I opened the front door to find a huge bunch of muguet tucked into the door handle and Marlene was disappearing down the drive. I dashed out to speak to her and her husband before they left. I was so happy to receive these lovely gifts.
I had to have a platelet transfusion in Troyes on Monday and before they would let me leave the hospital in Paris on Tuesday I had to have another platelet transfusion. Can you believe I was booked in for another in Troyes on Friday afternoon. Well I got to the hospital on time, then after a blood test I was told I couldn’t have the transfusion on Friday I have to return on Monday morning. I was so angry but as I have found no amount of anger changes the stance of these people. Coming back in the taxi, I had to sit in the back, by the time we got home I was feeling travel sick! So Monday at 8:45am it is, what’s the betting that it will be more than one transfusion and I will be there all day 😩. I think I will need my case packing this afternoon!
Monique came to visit, she brought me lilac from her trees and three delicious cakes, bought at the most expensive cake shop in town! I cannot believe how well we get along and how we can sit and talk for hours when Monique only speaks French and German 🤔. She stayed for about 3 hours by which time we had put the world to rights.
I spoke to a cousin in London, who is terrified that WW3 is about to break out. To be honest if it does there is not much you or I can do about it and if someone pushes the button we may not even have time to worry. Just one thing I would like to know, in case this should happen, was Andrew Hillier from France 24, born in the North East of England? 😂
Anie called to see me again, bearing more gifts. This time it was pain d’épicés and a jar of homemade soup. The pain d’épicés contained walnuts too, it was absolutely delicious.
I needed some pj’s to wear in the hospital so I popped to Gemo in town and got a couple of pairs of pj bottoms and four t shirt tops as I need tops with short sleeves. I was given the sheet advising what I can eat on the protected feeding plan. Now I will be on this diet while I am in hospital but was told there is a washing machine available to wash my nightclothes. As I will be expected to remain in my room, being so far from home that I won’t have any visitors, I wonder how my pj’s will manage to get washed? Answers on a postcard please 😂😂.
The doctor from Paris phoned me just to say he had all the scan results and providing I don’t have Covid, he will see me on Thursday. Oh gosh it’s exciting and terrifying at the same time! I am hoping that I will be able to do my blogs but as some of the risk factors are neurological and I may lose the ability to write (temporarily) I will have to wait and see.
I have had two deliveries this week, the first was four books from another cousin in the UK and the second was a card and two magazines from a friend in the UK. I finally managed to package up, again, the gift I sent her last year which was refused by UK customs and returned to me.
“The Trainee Solicitor” has been stressed again this week! Having to keep one eye on training the new recruit and the other on dealing with his cases I guess he is looking a bit like Marty Feldman! Anyway it’s the weekend and a time to clear your head ready for the forthcoming week.
“The Reconnect Navigator” is going to be doing a new role at work until such time as a replacement is found. All experience and I think it will be rather interesting too. Her new Dr Marten boots have rubbed her feet and made them very sore. She went out on Friday evening with friends, I do hope she didn’t have to go barefoot!
“The Photographer” has his children this weekend. On Friday evening he had prepared a cottage pie with red wine jus and cheesy mash. Apparently the children really enjoyed it and my grandson had second helpings! On Saturday they met up with “The Trainee Solicitor” and “The Reconnect Navigator” for lunch, so I imagine that was a great experience too, as both children adore them! I was sent photos on Friday evening, of both children playing with large cardboard boxes. I love imaginary play where the box can be your home, a car, boat or plane it’s just wonderful to see children playing this way. Of course I love to see them as they are growing up so quickly, apparently my grandson can count to ten in French.
“The Jetsetter”, has been continuing with the day job until she goes away again. Not long now girl, I will be thinking of you on the day you fly but don’t you be thinking of me 😂.
The music this week starts with a song from a married couple. It was released in 1988, it’s Teardrops by Womack and Womack.
The second song is from 1997 (that was a good year😉) it’s by Savage Garden and it’s “To The Moon And Back”.
On my travels I have noticed that lilac, laburnum and the candles on the horse chestnut trees are all in evidence. I think they are probably a few weeks early. My cherry tree has lots of cherries starting to appear. Let’s hope that no heavy frost comes and kills them off.
So I will do my best to get a blog out to you next week. I am staying in the Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris. The nurse who was doing the transfusion said “ oh you are going to be staying on the floor”, I replied “Well I am hoping for a bed actually” to which we both had a laugh. The hospital is older than the one in Troyes, the room is probably going to be smaller and the “salle de douche”, in the room I was in on the day unit, was tiny, I could have taken a shower while sitting on the toilet! Maybe that’s how my pj’s will get washed 🤔.
The photo at the top of the blog Is the barrière du trône and this final photo is somewhere in the 12th arrondissement.
Jusqu’à la semaine prochaine.

Angus Stephenson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's with great sadness that I learned of the death of my friend and former colleague Angus Stephenson. He was a kind and generous collaborator and person. We worked together, supervising sites on different section of London's City Wall (published in https://lnkd.in/ebsmfBJQ ) and used that experience to push through reforming surveying in the DUA, with the appointment of Mark Green as the surveyor (a benefit of the DUA.MoL was how initiatives could rise from Senior Archaeologists and then be implemented). His Cambridge law degree came in useful when we faced mass redundancies and, as a committed Trades Unionist, he was instrumental in winning the highest protective award to that date . It also came in handy when -as a Project Manager- negotiating on behalf of the Museum of London with the Comptroller & City Solicitor, City of London Corporation, over excavations at the Guildhall Yard Roman amphitheatre. Both took a great toll on his reserves, which a return to digging in Ireland helped to recover. He began his archaeological career in York, pre-Coppergate days. He also managed to fit in spells with the old Central Unit and later English Heritage, West Yorkshire, as well as Ireland, the Emirates, for the British Gas aerial survey team and for a spell as a consultant. After his retirement, he spent a great deal of time back in his native North East working as a volunteer with https://www.citizan.org.uk/  and resuming his passion for birding
Wherever he went, he did a great many good deeds by stealth, helping people when they needed it most. There are many who have survived a personal crisis because of his practical help and generosity. He was a deeply moral person who became a vegetarian at college when he decided he "didn't want to eat anything that didn't want to die" . It is worth looking over his Flickr photos, to get an insight into his character and interests https://lnkd.in/eMt_cnue I feel blessed to have known him, to have worked with him, to have shared a sociable pint and discussed mutual concerns with him, and to have benefitted from and witnessed his many small kindnesses. We have lost a good un

"COURT IMPOSED DOUBLE PENALTY," Hamilton Spectator. July 18, 1933. Page 7. ---- Four-Month Term for Man Who Sold Alcohol ---- Charges Resulted From Recent Tragedy ---- "It is the usual custom here to double the penalty in alcohol cases," said Magistrate Burbidge in liquor court to-day in rendering judgment in the cases of Peter and Sophie Megurka, 27 Bayfield avenue, charged with selling liquor. "The minimum sentence is two months, therefore Megurka is committed to jail for four months."
In the case of Mrs. Megurka, judgment was reserved for a further period of one week. Bail was set at $1,000. Walter J. Tuchtie appeared for the accused.
The charges arose out of the sale of a small bottle of alcohol to Mrs. Agnes Pitman, of London, on June 3 last. Last week local detectives, in testifying in the case, showed that they were jig-saw puzzle enthusiasts when they put together sections of cork which had been found in the Megurka domicile and which fitted closely to the cut-down piece of cork which had been placed in the pop bottle containing the alcohol.
Illegal Consumption Arrested by Constables Sindall, Howson and Spurrell when a raid was staged on their camp, Thomas Toner, John Toner, Arthur Nesbitt and James Hill pleaded guilty to charges of illegal consumption. Fines of $20 or 21 days were imposed in each case.
Roy McCoy pleaded not guilty to the same charge and the charge against him was withdrawn.
"He was a late arrival at the camp," said James B. Chambers, assistant city solicitor, who prosecuted.
At the request of William Morrison, K.C., M.L.A., defending, a charge of illegal possession against James O'Brien, 107 Cannon street east, was laid over for a week.
Pleading guilty to a charge of illegal consumption, Annie LeRoy, 19 Bold street, was fined $20 or 21 days.
George Hewer, 215 West avenue north; who faced a charge of permitting a person under the influence of liquor to consume more liquor, was remanded for a week at his own request.
When a charge of illegal possession was reduced to one of illegal consumption, Charles Maher pleaded guilty and was fined $20 or 21 days. A charge of illegal possession against John Bradley was withdrawn.

AMY JOHNSON
AMY JOHNSON
1 July 1903 – c. 5 January 1941
ENGLISH PILOT, DISAPPEARED AGED 37
            Amy Johnson was an English aviator. She had trained to become a qualified ground engineer serving planes, and became qualified as a pilot in 1923.
            Johnson was born in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, into a family of fish merchants. She went to University to study economics and worked in London as a secretary. She was never fulfilled with secretary work and yearned for more. She was working for a solicitor who flew as a hobby, she took a flight in 1926 and fell in love with flying and became one of the first women to gain a licence. 
            Johnson became a celebrity due to her flying achievements. In her Gipsy Moth aircraft ‘Jason’ she flew solo from England to Australia in 1930. In 1931 she flew to Japan and back and din 1932 she made a record solo flight to Cape Town and back. With her husband, she made a record flight in 1933 across the Atlantic Ocean in 39 hours. In 1934, they flew to India in 22 hours and in 1936 she made a new solo record for flying from London to Cape Town.
            She was married to pilot James Mollison; the marriage was troubled due to his affairs with numerous women and drinking. The couple divorced in 1938.
            During World War II, Johnson worked for the Air Transport Auxiliary which delivered aircrafts to those when needed. Johnson flew aircrafts from factories to RAF bases.
            Johnson most likely died when her plane disappeared in 1941. It is believed that her plane crashed over the Thames Estuary during World War II. Her body was never recovered and it was presumed she had drowned. Johnson once said, “I’ll fly till I die… and I hope I die flying.”
            Katharine Hepburn’s character in Christopher Strong (1933) was inspired by Johnson.

South East London Buy House
South East London to a mortgage broker to see what you can borrow so you know your maximum budget. You'll also need funds for a deposit of at least 5% of the purchase price. Once pre-approved, start your property search. View listings online or connect with an estate agent for viewings. Visit properties on your own first before making offers. South East London factors like location, layout, condition and price.  When you've found the perfect house, make an offer in writing through your selling agent. Negotiate carefully your first offer may not be accepted. Subject to contract and satisfactory surveys searches, exchange contracts once an agreed price is reached. This legally binds the sale. The completion date is set for around 4-6 weeks later when money changes hands. In the meantime, instruct a qualified solicitor to handle conveyancing. Arrange buildings and contents insurance ready for moving day. Final preparations include notifying utility providers, redirecting your mail and cancelling existing services. Allow at least a week for the removal company to arrange your removals and new connection dates. On completion, transfer funds by bank transfer on your agreed date. South East London from the estate agent and take ownership of your new home! Careful planning makes the South East London property purchase process smooth. By following this structured process and doing thorough research, buyers can feel confident navigating house purchases independently or with expert guidance from agents every step of the way.

Greetings from a cloudy Troyes in the Aube département of France. It’s 7c, raining and I think we are due 11c and a drier day. Not that it matters to me I am still ensconced in my hospital room 13 days after arriving.
The arrival of my eldest son may well give them the impetus to send me home, as there will be someone with me 24/7, for a few days.
When I came into hospital I brought my usual notebook, pen in bag etc, well the pen only ran out the first Thursday I was here (wish I could have joined it 😂). Now, a week later I asked for a pen and was given a whole brand new one to keep ……. the notebook is filling up nicely now with diary notes, questions etc.
Today is Mother’s Day in the UK, a big greeting to all of the mothers being feted by sons and daughters throughout the Kingdom.
I am going to introduce the music section, this was prompted by a telephone call before I was admitted to hospital. I was talking to a friend in North East England about “back in the day”, as they say, and talking of artists, she recalled going to see the amazing Sylvester in a night club in MIDDLESBROUGH! Yes they brought Soul artists from the States and they performed amongst the Steel workers, dockers etc of the grimy north east. So with this in mind here are two records I love . The first is back to 1974, ( I remember it well 😂) it’s the Isley Brothers with “Summer Breeze”. The second one is from three years earlier 🙈, 1971, and it’s The Four Tops with “Simple Game”. Enjoy, oldies but classics.
Now let’s concentrate on me! I was so “out of it” a couple of days last week, I remembered dreaming of speaking French and then there I was telling myself the phrase isn’t correct! Well I must admit that dream really did do something because I am now speaking more French to the nurses, taxi driver, Uncle Tom Cobley and all. I have even been (dare I utter it) reading the booklet on the next stage of treatment which is all in French, wow, I understand so very much, there are jottings in the margins now in case I lose this new talent!
I had a bit of bad news in the early part of the week. I heard of four people who had passed away! One was Marie-Therese who I visited London with a couple of years ago. Her son rang me and I really had to give in to tears. However, she had had a good life, she would have been 88 years old on the 6 March! A couple were relatives of friends and my kind next door neighbour and another a man I knew from when we were all in our 20’s.
I received a telephone call giving me the date of the next PET scan, 20 March, let’s hope I am at home for a break before then 🤣. Then, I got the appointment at the hospital in Paris, for the consultation on the next steps in my treatment, that was on Friday. Fortunately the doctor spoke excellent English and I had quite pertinent questions to ask. All being well, I will go there for harvesting of leucocytes towards the end of March. After that I think I should be called “The Combined Harvester” as I will have had stem cells and leucocytes harvested 😂.
As I have said my eldest son “The Photographer” is coming to see me. If I ever get out of here, we will do a lot of the jobs I need to be done (mainly computer work) and tidy things up there.
It’s the weekend before “The Reconnect Navigator’s” birthday so celebrations are taking place. A nice evening out last evening, wonderful!
“The Trainee Solicitor” has lots on his mind as in pricing up for new items in the house. It’s not that they are just cosmetic they are actually needed. So investing now could see benefits later.
I had a video call with my gorgeous grandchildren yesterday. My grandson was a bit confused he thought I was taking a bath when in fact I was laid in the hospital bed. Well he is only a young boy so that’s fine.
Now to the newest member of the “clan”, “The Jetsetter”. I am not quite sure of the schedule of “turnarounds” she will be doing over the next few months but after arriving back from Norway, I guess washing is all done and a change of clothes for the change of temperatures. Plus am sure it is going to be warmer in Italy. Not too sure of the region but have a wonderful time indeed.
Well guess you can’t always guarantee good weather, as I had a holiday in the Alto Adige region of Italy (a long time ago). It was August and in Trafoi where I stayed it was rather pleasant weather. Friends and I caught the bus to the top of the Stelvio Pass only to find it snowing and a nice cover there was too (especially for someone wearing sandals 🙈). The bus had to put snow chains on to come back down the hairpin bends. What an adventure that was!
It looks as if we have caught up with all of my news. The beauty of the two hour drive to Paris and back is that being in the Saint-Antoine district there are wonderful sites to see. Last year it was the Gare du Lyon, this time it was “The Bastille”. I was lucky to catch the couple enjoying a stroll and looking towards the monument then further along, on the bridge over the Seine, where we were fortunate to be stuck in traffic for another view.
I wish you all a good week until next week.

Homebuyers' stress over impact of CTS cyber-attack

By Kevin Peachey
Cost of living correspondent
Homeowners and buyers have spoken of their “serious stress” after a cyber-attack played havoc with property completions.
CTS, which provides IT services to law firms, said systems were still not back to normal after more than three weeks of disruption.
Conveyancers have found workarounds that have allowed many people to go ahead with purchases.
But the scale of the problems has still not been revealed by CTS.
The company said it was “working around the clock” to restore systems, and had made “significant progress”.
“This is a very complex situation and, at this time, our focus remains on restoring those clients whose systems have been disrupted,” it said.
“We are keeping our clients updated and are in contact with the regulators.”
However, individuals whose home moves and mortgage completions have been affected by law firms’ inability to access documents said they were frustrated at the lack of communication.
One 33-year-old, who is buying a first home with his partner, said there had been few updates, and the last few weeks had been “seriously stressful”.
He said he was still concerned about whether all his personal details were safe.
Alice Fenton
Generally, on property completion day, the buyer’s solicitor arranges for money to be transferred to the seller’s solicitor. A failure to complete is technically a breach of contract.
The problem at CTS is having a knock-on effect on the firms involved in property completions.
Alice Fenton and her family faced delays trying to complete the purchase of a property in south-east London.
The 35-year-old’s mortgage offer was extended by the loan provider, and she is set to finally move on Monday. However, she described the experience as extremely stressful and chaotic.
Cyber-attack leaves home sales in limbo
‘We don’t know if we can complete on our new home’
Another homeowner affected, who did not want to be named, said he had been temporarily forced on to a more expensive variable rate mortgage because his new loan was unable to complete on time.
He and others have faced extra costs, but remain unclear about where to go for compensation.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which regulates law firms that carry out conveyancing, said anyone with complaints should initially contact their law firm. It is likely that these firms, in turn, may seek their own compensation from CTS or its insurers.
A spokesman for the SRA said a growing number of firms had informed the regulator about having been affected.
But he said that law firms had regularly been advised to ensure alternative options were in place should cyber-incidents occur.
A spokesman for the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which regulates CTS, said: “People have the right to expect that organisations will handle their personal information securely and responsibly. If an individual has concerns about how their data has been handled, they should raise it with the organisation first, then report them to us if they are not satisfied with the response.”
He said CTS had told the ICO about the incident and the regulator would be “making enquiries”.
