Captain Scott's Autobiography

Another 'Books About Town' find near the Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

'Captain Robert Falcon Scott (6 June 1868 – c. 29 March 1912) was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition, 1901–04, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 1910–13. The Captain Scott BookBench brings to life his diary of the Terra Nova expedition that ultimately claimed his life. Scott's diary has been in print since it was first published in 1913 and has sold almost 250,000 copies. He is remembered as a great explorer, and his account of the expedition shows courage and determination which has inspired readers for over 100 years'

Today was a pretty uneventful day for me, until the evening when Kathryn invited me to her house to have a few drinks. I happily took up the offer to get out of the house. The rest of our evening was spent lounging in her back garden drinking vodka iced tea, sharing stories and a pitiful attempt by me at doing a Welsh accent.
