Sorry for lack of updates about grandpa… he’s had enough of the fame haha. But he’s still alive and kicking in case anyone was wondering!
Anyone who is still interested in grandpa ! The map has been given on loan to the Geological Society in Piccadilly , London.
Where it is on display for anyone wanting to go look at it !
Harry Jefferies retweeted
London was founded by the Romans in 47 AD.
So in 23 years (2047) I think we should have a huge 2000th birthday party. Not many major world cities with a continuous name can say that.
Grandpa out and about for a coffee and bumped into a fan ! Had to sign it for her obviously
