Advent Calendar Facts
The tradition of Advent calendars with chocolates is one that I don't know. Might it possibly be one that is more European than Unitedstatesian?

The Big Five Story
The third sentence in your paragraph under the second sub-subheading, Where to Spot Big Five?, under your subheading Big Five Tourism mentions The Great Migration every June and July.
Might it be difficult to view the Big Five of birds, mammals ...

I have seen these in movies. There seems little or no connection with the advent wreath, another topic of the season.

True about it being undervalued in these days of instant responses and impatience. You are right.

Thanks for your visit, Veronica. I agree. The gift of expectation is one of the best ones (and possibly most undervalued nowadays).

The man who ran to the gallows
I think that both Thulis and Wrenno are rare surnames. They are Lancashire names,just as beswick is, so they tend to cluster in the North West.

Cruise the Mediterranean on the Disney Magic
Your entries under Venice indicate visiting "outlying islands" even as your second of two images involves Burano island.

The man who ran to the gallows
Spellings in the seventeenth century were erratic, and Thewlis was sometimes known as Thules. For comparison Beswick was Beacswyke. I suspect that the actor whose surname is Thewlis might have a genetic connection to the martyr.

Peterloo 1819
The film was superbly received . Superb acting by Maxine Peake especially. 2019.

Peterloo 1819
You mention below, among answers to questions, a book release by Professor Poole and a film release by director Mike Leigh for 2019.
How were the Leigh film and the Poole book received?
