    About this ebook

    Samuel Pepys was an English naval administrator and Member of Parliament who is now most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. Although Pepys had no maritime experience, he rose by patronage, hard work and his talent for administration, to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and subsequently King James II.
    The detailed private diary Pepys kept is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period.

      It’s important to be yourself in life. Don’t think you have to adapt according to the people or situation you’re in. It’s perfectly all right to be exactly who you are, to like what you like. That’s a lesson it took me a long time to learn. I grew up

      NOBODY does pomp and ceremony quite like the British royals. The coronation was a spectacle like no other and at times some if it felt surreal. I wonder what went through the minds of Charles and Camilla as they took part in ancient rituals and tradi

      WHEN I wake up I’ve begun to heave out of bed and groan in a way a horse does as it rolls. Sort of loud and unattractively guttural. When I sit on the sofa, I expel air like a burst beachball. Pfffffffft. My knees are rogered and if I go for a run I
