May 25: You can be a fly on the wall at any time/stage of history, where do you go?



I keep re-writing this post because I just can't work out my answer.

I admit it, I am beaten by this prompt. There is no one place that I can choose to be.

I was thinking maybe some place in history but there are none I want to be a part of that are not horror filled.

I considered somewhere that would tell me the answer to a mystery, like who stole the Beaumont children, or Madeline McCann, but what would knowing and not being able to tell be like?

Then I decided it could be good to be in a room where you knew people were talking about you to hear what they really really thought. But then again, there is a reason they are talking about you with you not there.

I then spent all day thinking about it and weighing up where I could be and yet I give you nothing.

So I give up.

I have no answer.



Help me out, tell me where you would be a fly on the wall in history?

  1. I would have to go and check out Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. I think they are both amazing. I would love to know what they were like as men and creators. It would be so fascinating.

  4. I'd love to be able to solve a terrible mystery - are you sure there's no way to tell?

    If not I'd love to see my ancestors living their lives to see what it was like.

  5. I was meant to write about this today just never got around to it.
    For me it would be the wall of my kids classroom. I would love to know what they get up to and how they are learning/having fun.

  6. How funny - I thought you must have had a definite idea! We were at a family reunion today with the last two of my grandfather's family of 13, so I'd go back to watch them as kids at the dinner table. Eating boiled carrot.
