At the end of June in 1399 Henry Bolingbroke, son of John of Gaunt and cousin to King Richard II, landed at Ravenspurn with a small force intent on the overthrow of Richard. The King, who had been in Ireland, did not rush to return to England, but when he did, his throne had been lost, and Bolingbroke became King Henry IV. Richard would die in mysterious circumstances not long after. Henry had secured the throne but his would not be a happy reign. Joining to discuss the two grandsons of Edward III is Helen Castor, author of The Eagle and the Hart: the Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV as we delve into the two characters in a fascinating period of medieval history.

fWotD Episode 2737: William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 1 November 2024 is William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros.William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros (c. 1370 – 1 November 1414), was a medieval English nobleman, politician and soldier. The second son of Thomas de Ros, 4th Baron Ros, and Beatrice Stafford, William inherited his father's feudal barony and estates (with extensive lands centred on Lincolnshire) in 1394. Shortly afterwards, he married Margaret, daughter of John FitzAlan, 1st Baron Arundel. The Fitzalan family, like that of de Ros, was well-connected at the local and national level. They were implacably opposed to King Richard II, and this may have soured Richard's opinion of the young de Ros.The late 14th century was a period of political crisis in England. In 1399, Richard II confiscated the estates of his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, and exiled him. Bolingbroke invaded England several months later, and de Ros took his side almost immediately. Richard's support had deserted him; de Ros was alongside Henry when Richard surrendered his throne to the invader, who became King Henry IV. De Ros later voted in the House of Lords for the former king's imprisonment. De Ros benefited from the new Lancastrian regime, achieving far more than he had ever done under Richard. He became an important aide and counsellor to King Henry and regularly spoke for him in Parliament. He also supported Henry in his military campaigns, participating in the invasion of Scotland in 1400 and assisting in the suppression of the rebellion of Richard Scrope, Archbishop of York, five years later.In return for his loyalty to the new regime, de Ros received extensive royal patronage. This included lands, grants, wardships, and the right to arrange the wards' marriages. De Ros performed valuable service as an advisor and ambassador (perhaps most importantly to Henry, who was often in a state of near-penury; de Ros was a wealthy man, and regularly loaned the crown large amounts of money). Important as he was in government and the regions, de Ros was unable to avoid the tumultuous regional conflicts and feuds which were rife at this time. In 1411 he was involved in a land dispute with a powerful Lincolnshire neighbour, and narrowly escaped an ambush; he sought and received redress in Parliament. Partly because of de Ros's restraint in not seeking the severe penalties available to him, he was described by a 20th-century historian as a particularly wise and forbearing figure for his time.King Henry IV died in 1413. De Ros did not long survive him, and played only a minor role in government during the last year of his life. He may have been out of favour with the new king, Henry V. As Prince of Wales, Henry had fallen out with his father a few years before, and de Ros had supported Henry IV over his son. De Ros died in Belvoir Castle on 1 November 1414. His wife survived him by twenty-four years; his son and heir, John, was still a minor. John later fought at Agincourt in 1415 and died childless in France in 1421. The barony of de Ros was then inherited by William's second son, Thomas, who also died in military service in France, seven years after his brother.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 08:39 UTC on Friday, 8 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.
Richard II är en ung ståtlig kung, men han är slösaktig och spenderar det mesta av sin tid på att göra av med pengar på och med sina nära vänner. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Både gemene man och adelsmän vänder sig mot sin kung när han, för att finansiera sitt överdådiga leverne, börjar hyra ut skiften med engelsk mark till rika adelsmän. När han sedan beslagtar marken och pengarna från en nyligen avliden och mycket respekterad farbror för att fylla på sin personliga kassa, är det droppen som får bägaren att rinna över.Den döde farbrodern, vars mark Richard beslagtagit, tillhörde Henry Bolingbrokes far. När Henry Bolingbroke får reda på att Richard stulit hans arv, samlar han en armé och invaderar Englands norra kust. Också allmogen står på Bolingbrokes sida, och en efter en överger Richards allierade i adeln honom och ansluter sig till Bolingbroke.Richard fängslas i ett avlägset slott i norra England och i London kröns Bolingbroke till kung Henrik IV.Konung Richard den andreAv William ShakespeareÖversättning: Carl August HagbergI rollerna (i den ordning de uppträda): Konung Richard den andre – Olov Molander, Johan av Gaunt, Hertig av Lancaster – Carl Browallius, Lordmarskalken – Gösta Hillberg, Henrik Bolingbroke, Gaunts son – Uno Henning, Mowbray, hertig av Norfolk – Gabriel Alw, Hertiginnan av Gloster – Hilda Borgström, Två härolder; Hertigen av Aumerle – Olof Widgren, Bushy – Manne Grünberger, Edmund av Langley, hertig av York, Aumerles fader – Carl Barcklind, Greven av Northumberland – Carl Ström, Två lorder; Bagot – Bror Bügler, Green – Åke Claesson, Drottningen, konung Richards gemål – Anna Lindahl, Henrik Percy, grevens av Northumberland son – Åke Engfeldt, Greve Berkley; Greven av Salisbury – Oscar Ljung, Sir Stephen Scroop – Gunnar Sjöberg, Hovdamen – Gun Robertson, Trädgårdsmästaren – John Norrman, Trädgårdsdrängen – Åke Uppström, Lord Fitzwater – Albert Ståhl, Hertigen av Surrey – Eric Rosén, Biskopen av Carlisle – Knut Lindroth, Hertiginnan av York – Constance Byström, Sir Pierce av Exton – Gösta Gustafsson, Fångvaktaren – John Ericsson, Stallknekten – Axel HögelDen interfolierade musiken var ”En svit” ur stycken av Henry Purcell sammanställd och bearbetad av John Barbirolli inspelad av New Yorks filharmoniska orkester under Barbirollis ledning.Regi: Olov* Molander*I gamla Radioteaterns arkiv och i gamla Röster i Radio-tidningar skiftar stavningen på Olov Molander.

Season 6 of the WSS podcast here!In our inaugural episode of the season, host Tim Cynova is joined by Katy Dammers, Indira Goodwine-Josias, and Christy Bolingbroke as they explore reimagining of value-centered workplaces through Creative Administration. In organizations dedicated to creative expression and innovation, why is it that so many have workplace practices and policies that are dusty?The spirited discussion dives into the challenges and opportunities within the creative sector to rethink “traditional” approaches, asking when it might be better to reinvent the wheel or even asking if a wheel is what's needed. The conversation underscores the critical balance between stability and creative experimentation, reflecting on how new approaches can support long-term change and longevity in the arts.Episode Highlights02:15 Meet the Guests05:44 Diving into Creative Administration09:20 Balancing Structure and Improvisation17:26 Challenging Conventional Wisdom20:46 Navigating Institutional Change24:26 Reevaluating Policy: Balancing Ethics and Values25:09 Navigating Crisis with Established Policies25:51 Incremental Change in Nonprofit Organizations26:37 Creativity and Experimentation During COVID26:58 The Snapback to Pre-COVID Norms27:38 Fear of Change and Embracing New Solutions28:44 Creative Administration and Sustainability29:49 The Role of Artists in Institutional Change34:11 Balancing Administrative and Artistic GrowthResources Mentioned in the Podcast:Check out the new book Artists On Creative Administration: A Workbook from the National Center for Choreography.Christy Bolingbroke's Masters Thesis, Designing a 21st Century Dance Ecology: Questioning Current Practices and Embracing Curatorial InterventionsGUEST BIOSChristy Bolingbroke is the Founding Executive/Artistic Director for the National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron (NCCAkron).

I feel so grateful and blessed for all the wonderful Osteopaths and Osteopathy teachers I have met on my journey so far and who shared their experience and wisdom with me. One of them is Mary Bolingbroke! Mary keeps inspiring me on such a profound and I am honoured to have her as my guest on the podcast! Welcome, Mary. In this episode she shares with us important parts of her journey and her understanding of health and the role of us Osteopaths … and yes, if you keep listening, I am sure you will feel and hear what I mean and why it is actually so hard to describe this wonderful teacher in words. About Mary: Mary Qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 1992 and then worked and trained with Stuart Korth at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London until 1997. She co-founded the Irish Diploma in Paediatrics with Ian Wright in 2009 and she is on the Biodynamics of Osteopathy faculty, and regularly teaches on Biobasics (James Jealous) courses in the UK. Mary has a great interest in teaching as well as treating people of all ages and animals including horses, dogs and the occasional parrot. In this conversation with Mary we talked about … Marys` long and convoluted path and what brought Mary to study Osteopathy Why our body always tries to seek health! A simple (and so profound!) practice you can do to learn to get in touch with the stillness (and wisdom) within your body - the place from where so much wisdom is ready to be revealed! Marys` understanding of how our body stores both physical and emotional events within its tissues and how this build up can lead to the experience of pain or mental exhaustion … … and how Mary uses touch and the potency of listening to guide the body back to health More links about this episode: Mary teaches with the daisy clinic trust in Ireland (www.clonmelosteopaths.ie) and CTET in London (www.cranio.co.uk) Mary recommended to read this book: "It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle" by Mark Wolynn To leave any comments and to get in touch with me, follow me on Facebook or instagram, or visit my webpage www.flurinathali.com Credits: Intro/outro music – ‘Hymn for Jim' by Aspyrian; Robin Porter – saxophone, Jack Gillen – guitar, Matt Parkinson – drums, composed by Robin Porter, listen to the full track here Graphic: Annina Thali, for more information click here Mix engineer: Jack Gillen, for more information click here
Richard is deposed in a public trial, which Bolingbroke and Northumberland hope to turn into a Soviet-style mockery in which Richard confesses all his wrongs. Instead, he steals the show, and makes them look like bullies and himself like a martyr—like Christ as the Man of Sorrows. The scene was not printed until after the death of Elizabeth, who is reputed to have said, “Know ye not I am Richard II?” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support
Richard, having made enormous, though eloquent, speeches of self-pity instead of bolstering the morale of what followers remain to him, holes up in Flint Castle. But when confronted by Bolingbroke and his fellow rebels, descends, slowly and ritualistically, from the walls, surrendering without the slightest resistance into the hands of his enemies. In the next scene, the Queen, speaking to a Gardener, speaks of her husband's fate as a second fall of Man. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support
The exiled Bolingbroke lands in England and gathers an army, claiming he has returned only to claim his legal rights as the heir of John of Gaunt. Old York, the last of the 7 sons of Edward III, helpless and feeble, switches his allegiance to Bolingbroke, the symbolic turning point of the play. Richard returns from Ireland and makes a bizarre, theatrical speech about how the earth itself will rise up and angels descend to aid him because he is God's anointed king. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support
John of Gaunt is inspired on his deathbed with a famous speech about the glorious land of England—now fallen on hard times due to the corrupt Richard II. Richard comes in, and Gaunt tells Richard what a fool he is being, angering Richard. Gaunt dies offstage, and Richard immediately moves to take his estates, which should go to Gaunt's son Bolingbroke, in order to fund wars in Ireland. This not only gives Bolingbroke yet more reason for rebellion but creates sympathy for his cause. Richard puts old, feeble York, the last of the fabled 7 sons, in charge of England while he is in Ireland. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support
In a ritualized, formal scene, Bolingbroke opens the play by accusing Thomas Mowbray of having murdered Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester. Mowbray denies it, and a date for a trial by combat is set. Mowbray hints what is widely believed, that he was acting on the orders of Richard II himself. Gloucester's widow seeks justice from John of Gaunt, but Gaunt says nothing can be done because the king, who is clearly guilty, is nonetheless “God's anointed.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support
This particular day, I had just pulled in to the side of the road close to the depot entrance, when there was an almighty bang and the front of the roof of the tyre retail premises was lifted off the brick cladding over the main front doors.The dust and mess was considerable, covering much of the surrounding area.I moved to go inside with caution, not knowing what I would be looking at.Were there any bodies laying around? Was that the final bang or were there to be more?In fact it was the only one but that initial bang had been followed by a tremendous amount of clattering as various pieces of metal and rubber gradually fell to earth after their being propelled into the air with great force.The force was compressed air and I had been fortunate that I had not arrived a few minutes earlier!Morris the very convivial manager at this particular depot was out, calling on clients. His tyre fitting staff had been taking a few short cuts in their endeavours.When removing commercial tyres from wheels there are safety instructions that should be followed. The lads in the depot that day had their own ideas.They had removed the locking ring and one side of the split wheel and turned the wheel and tyre over on a metal stand to knock the tyre off with a breaker tool.Evidently, so the story was told to me, the tyre would not budge. After lots of tyre lubricant and more hammering and jumping around, no difference, it was fixed solid.This often happened when the tyre had been on that wheel for a long time and had not had to be removed for any reason.In these instances, the tyre and wheel has to be placed in a safety cage and slowly inflated to encourage some movement.Compressed air is very very dangerous, everyone engaged in the tyre trade has received instruction regarding this at some stage in their early career.Even me!The lads at National Tyres, Stamford were fed up with this particular wheel.The boss was out and they decided to take the short cut. They attached the air line and began to blow the tyre off the wheel, without any safety cage. It was still laying there in the middle of the floor of the workshop, on its metal stand.Its the amount of compressed air in a restricted place, contained and under increasing pressure that is dangerous.Our lads that day had a very lucky escape.Quite suddenly, the wheel and tyre began to part company and jointly were launched into the air vertically at very high speed. Within a second or so, the wheel hit the steel girders supporting the roof of the building. The whole roof was lifted off its brick supports at the front and then the tyre and wheel separated and fell to earth almost as quickly as they had been launched.Those commercial tyres weigh over a hundredweight or 200 kilos. The wheel probably weighs more than that, so all together there was getting on for a quarter of a ton of rubber and metal flying around the building at high speed and out of control.Both bits landed not far from a clients car that was having new tyres fitted. He very nearly needed a new car!
Part 2 explores the play's language and imagery and how it reflects the political plot. It discusses the political strategies and goals of Bolingbroke and Richard to ask what the play reveals about power and why Richard seems to gain in power as a literary, tragic figure precisely as he loses power as king – and why Richard seems to desire this tragic fate. It concludes by looking at how Richard's story has been marshaled as political propaganda and at the political questions that Shakespeare leaves ambiguous: how should we regard Richard's fate?
Part 3 features close-readings of several significant speeches and scenes. We hear from Richard's opponents and from Richard himself as he narrates his way – dazzlingly – into his new tragic identity. Speeches and Performers: John of Gaunt, Act 2, “Methinks I am a prophet …” (Anton Lesser) Richard II, Act 3, “For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground …” (Keith Hamilton Cobb and Donald Sumpter) Richard II and Bolingbroke, Act 4, “Give me the crown …” (Danann McAleer)
Richard II is at once a masterwork of poetry and a bloody account of political plotting. In the 1590s, Shakespeare wrote a series of eight plays based on English chronicle history. Richard II is the first play chronologically in that series, telling the story of a king whose fall helped set in motion the political contentions and civil wars for decades to come. In 1399, Richard II was deposed by his cousin Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV. But in Shakespeare's play, what Richard loses in political power, he gains in dramatic power. In this course, you'll learn the story and historical context behind Richard II, explore the complex political dimensions depicted in this transition of power, and see how Shakespeare develops this unusual protagonist who wants to be a tragic character. In Part 1, you'll be guided through a detailed account of the story with commentary by Michael Dobson, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Birmingham and Director of the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon. You'll learn the historical background behind the play and start to explore the play's central ambiguities concerning Richard's political moves and Richard's own character. This summary is told using the language of the play itself, placing key quotations in context to help you understand where these lines come from and what they mean.
A few months passed and we received a strange phone call from those farmers and produce merchants we had carted the onions for, they were in a big way of business, located to the north east of Boston and about ten miles out of town.They wanted to know if we were prepared to do them a favour by making a statement that we had never been paid for the delivery we made for them.In explanation, they said that the onions had been of poor quality and they were disputing payment.Onions are quite expensive when you are talking about 10 tons and the total was several hundreds of pounds, even in 1974.We had been paid a fair rate for the delivery we made. We mentioned all this tarry diddle to Albert and he was sure their had been nothing wrong with the onions themselves. Albert could be relied on regarding anything to do with farming.When we replied saying we could not possibly do what they asked, as it was untrue, they became very heated and difficult, offering various threats of one sort and another. As this was the one and only job we had ever be asked to do for them, and we did not work for any of their so called “friends”, we felt that their threats could do us no harm.Besides, the main issue was being honest, open and fair. Our reputation and work ethics were at stake!
Back to Ivy House and the now established wine cellar, we had plenty of storage capacity and as the years went by we learned much more about wine and how to keep it.Buy the late 1970's we were making annual trips to France ourselves and managed to bring back a variety of different wines to augment the cellar.A calamity happened one winter when the water level in the basin rose so high it came up into the garden...and the cellar flooded to a depth of about 12 inches.The wine was ok but those cardboard boxes of tinned food did not fair too well. The cardboard disintegrated and the tins were to be found floating around in varying condition of “distress”.Many had begun to “blow”. When tins of food are kept too long and experience varying differences in storage conditions, they can begin to explode!By now, what with the age of the tins and now finding them floating around the cellar, the labels had come off many of them too.This was going to make identification somewhat difficult.I telephoned my Mother who for the previous four years or so had not even mentioned her tins of food. She went ballistic....Her “valuable” store of comestibles had been violated and I was the cause.One would think I had destroyed the World food bank to hear the racket down the telephone line.When she had finished ranting, I told here they were unsafe and were going to be binned at the earliest possible moment.I was “sent to Coventry” for another period of several months, which suited me fine!
Then just as suddenly it was all over and relative peace and quite reigned until the next group of buses from another large part of the midlands would descend on that modern “oasis” and it would all begin again.We admit to finding good reason to quit the scene rapidly. It was truly a mad house every Saturday Morning in those months that folk from the huge midlands towns and cities took their holidays on the Lincolnshire coast. This was how Hylda made a large proportion of her living. Of course there was substantial beer sales to bus passengers as well as the sandwiches and tea.Local trade for a pub stuck out in a tiny hamlet in the countryside was negligible. Hylda was a good cook and providing meals to paying clients must have been part of her regular trade too.One other result of all this summer time invasion was satisfying the VAT man!I do remember distinctly Hylda remonstrating in her usual way about how the VAT inspectors wanted her to work out how many breakfasts she provided free of charge to the bus drivers who brought their passengers to stop at the pub.They expected her to pay the VAT on those breakfasts even though they had been provided at no charge!She was typically furious and it was not a good idea to pay a visit close to any time the VAT man had also been calling, as this was not the only “weeze” that they thought up to get more income from hard working folk like Hylda.

Keith was phoning from a cafe on the M1 at Crick in Northamptonshire.The first thing he had to tell me was he had lost both rear wheels from one side of the lorry.It was fully loaded and he had been going fairly slowly through a restricted part of the motorway where it was single carriageway only.His rear wheels had come off in this section and just spun away across the remainder of the motorway.Mixed blessings here as with it being roadworks and restricted, then there was a free recovery service for vehicles breaking down in this section.Keith had been recovered to the cafe parking area and had managed to recover his wheels too.Earlier in the journey, he had needed two new rear tyres to be fitted in Brighton and the tyre fitters had been too enthusiastic with the pneumatic nut spinner and overtightened the wheel nuts. The threads had been damaged and during the journey north the wheel nuts had worked their way off the studs on the brake drum.NB The picture is not of a Mastiff, but a much more modern lorry, it shows the same type of demountable body system.
There have been tales of Lady drivers, driving examinations, first potato powder trips to Lancashire, romantic encounters in Thetford Forest and of course the demise of Wonderbun.This story happened in the middle of all the other events. I was the driver this time and engaged in delivering a load of TMC complaint tyres to their examination centre in North Lancashire.Wonderbun was an Austin FKJ140 12 ton capacity two axle diesel lorry with very large box van body, This was one of the reasons we had bought her from Glentons, plus the fact that she had a large capacity hydraulic tail lift fitted.

This is a story from Its a Rum Life Book Three. The action is mainly in Boston UK."As soon as 5 o' clock arrived the area suddenly teemed with white smocked Porters wearing their classic flat leather hats. The main impression I remember was the smell and ice in all the gullies and drains.The noise level increased rapidly as instant auctions took place for the countless varieties of fish and shellfish. Auctions on the back of lorries, auctions in the isles between the stalls, and auctions in the open air.As goods were sold, the porters loaded kits of fish on their heads or boxes on their quaint long low barrows. Off they went at top speed, singly or in pairs to another part of the yard where eager buyers waited patiently to load their precious purchases. Fish from all parts of the UK was destined to travel yet again to “pastures new”!
I announced the couple who were to perform without mentioning that neither of them had ever seen each other before. Never mind not having the chance to practice the piece together before the performance.I dare not mention that neither the pianist nor the mezzo soprano singer had any sheet music to follow either.They were both confident and enthusiastic and with a glance at each other off they went.David's beautiful playing of that most difficult of piano pieces accompanied by Heather who had a lovely commanding voice was simply magnificent.David was note-perfect, the piece went on for perhaps four minutes and he finished with that memorable very twiddly complicated beautiful music which is “the Trout”.I was enthralled as were the rest of the audience.
In conclusion, I felt confident that the Inspector of Taxes had good acceptable answers to all his questions and could find no reason to take the matter further. Indeed, I did not hear anything more from that Government Office.But you can read or listen to other unpleasant incidents where various folk have seen fit to “have a go “ at us in other ways over the years.The worst and longest-lasting is covered in the story “Litigation”.It all began in 1982 during the time I was a Parish Councillor at New Bolingbroke and Carrington and continued for over 20 years!The final one was when Barclays Bank tried to “grab” the Northcote property and close the Animal Sanctuary back in 2012.You can follow this later incident in two stories, “A Lesson in Faith in the 21st Century” and “Travel Nightmare, I am a Terrorist!”
The phone rang and it was the Estate Manager from the Revesby Estates, he had his home and office at Revesby Bridge and could see the bank at the end of the Medlam Drain out of his front window.It was on this bank that our three horses were kept at the present. I had been down to see them earlier and thought them settled for the night to come.Not on your life, something had got into them and they had dismantled the gate I had erected to keep them on the bank and stop them wandering.The Estate Manager told me with short breaths that they were getting out and if I could, I needed to get down there pronto!
Arriving at the town (Boston) I watched the buildings in all the streets to make sure the auger did not go through any windows or catch any lamp standards.Just by the Odeon Cinema, I arrived at some traffic lights at the approach to the river bridge. As I was slowing gradually, eyes in all directions at once, someone hooted their horn.My eyes were diverted for just a second or two and in that instant, a double-decker bus had decided to stop directly in front!Rapid stamping on my brakes resulted in my truck dipping forwards and the two steel support rods of the auger ending poked through the back of the double-deck bus just below the rotary sign that tells you where it is going!I did manage to stop before the rods went in too far, that is into the seats!As the truck rocked back on its suspension, the two rods reappeared and left two “staring eyes” dead centre in the bus body just a short distance below the rotary signboard.The driver appeared and looked somewhat bewildered.“Well I never did!” he exclaimed, “nothing like this has ever happened before.”

All is set for the trial by combat when Richard steps in and decrees banishment on the combatants. Mowbray gets lifetime banishment, and Bolingbroke ten years (reduced to six years for some reason). Richard makes them swear not to conspire together against him but neglects to have them swear loyalty.

It was one morning before daylight when I unintentionally created something of an incident, it was very cold and damp, so cold the house needed a boost of heat. I opened the garage doors and grabbed three bales of straw, stuffed them into the boiler and opened all the air intakes. Nothing unusual in that, or so I thought, but the wind was from the east. I watched the thick yellow smoke emerging from the chimney and carrying across the main road that passed directly in front of Ivy House.I remember thinking that it was a good job Betty and Les across the road would not be up for an hour or so and I hope they slept with their bedroom window closed, as the smoke began to carry over towards the whole village.
