PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

A DIFFERENT WORLD

It was a different world in 1100 Anno Domini.

If we visited a noble or titled friend in London in 1100, we would have to be fluent in French to converse with them - a result of the Norman invasion of 1066.

 23 generations ago in England there were 3,250,000 people (1100's A. D.). Only a small percentage of them were nobility.  London had a population of 15,000. It was a small town.
