WOWS is back

Finally, West of Watling Street is back. Welcome – whether you are a new reader or followed this blog in the past.

A bit of background first (though previous posts are available). I’m David Morgan – and I have lived in Furzton, Milton Keynes since my wife and I moved here in April 2009.

This blog is about the area I live in – the Milton Keynes estates west of the ancient Roman Road, later known as “Watling Street”, and now the V4 grid road. I’m in the civil parish of Shenley Brook End, but this post will cover all of Milton Keynes ….West of Watling Street (and I may occasionally cross the road!).

Currently I’m a tutor for the Open University on their Law Degree Courses – but my interests are much wider. History fascinates me – and I’ve recently been researching this area – and the general historical context. I love listening to jazz; watching American Football (the teams I follow are the NFL’s ‘Washington Redskins’ and our own ‘Milton Keynes City Pathfinders’ – and, when I can – I go to MK Stadium to watch the MK Dons.

Do subscribe to this blog – I have lots of items of local interest which I am planning to post – from practical details about local transport and other services – to the fascinating history of this area.
