Peeping at Pepys


Today we visited the library of famous diarist Samuel Pepys, whose famous descriptions of events such as the Great Fire of London and the plague tell us much about daily life in the 1600s.

As a very well educated baby, I have of course read all the Diaries and a large biography of Pepys too.

I puntuated the reverent silence of the library with several cries of surprise and delight at all the books that Pepys had collected during his lifetime.

As we left, I said 'Lurdle durdle dur!' which meant 'And so to baby carrier', which is a terribly funny pun that could only be appreciated by terribly erudite babies like me.
