The Road To Emmaus - Will Stuart-Lee - 24 April 2022 by St Aldates Church
Stuart is a relatively new member of the Poly but has wasted no time contributing to the cause through coaching and his work on the club's website. Having joined at the start of the pandemic, Stuart might not be a familiar face to many, given how we're only just getting back into the swing of things. Stuart's story into running and coaching stems from a lifetime of brain related conditions and surgeries, including various cysts and tumours, as well as the horror of meningitis. A chance glimpse of the New York Marathon on TV from his hospital bed as youngster planted an ambition that was 20 years in the realising, with a lot to contend with in between. His message is one of self determination and resilience, as well some interesting dietary advice when he needed to bulk up from major weight loss when he was sick as a child... Thanks Stuart (and blimey, well done!)

How do you build a Passive House? The construction of a Passive House requires specific processes and knowledge. Learn what it takes to build the Owl Woods Passive House Project in my interview with Stuart Lee. SHOW NOTES: In this episode, we meet Stuart Lee of Craftsmen Quality Builders. Stuart is the builder for the Owl Woods Passive House, and if you listened to my interview with David Rhind, the client and owner, you may recall that it was when they met Stuart, that they got interested in making this home a Passive House, and dived into this whole process. Stuart is a fantastic advocate for the building industry, as he really demonstrates what quality building, client collaboration and teamwork looks like. Even if you don’t want to build or renovate a Passive House, I really encourage you to listen to this episode and learn what to look for when choosing your own builder. Stuart provides some great advice to support you in your selection. Introducing Stuart Lee, Craftsmen Quality Builders Stuart is a builder and Qualified Carpenter, and he’s also a Certified PassivHaus Tradesman and Accredited Green Living Builder. Stuart has worked in the building industry for over 15 years and is very passionate about building energy efficient and PassivHaus homes. He feels the best way he can support the environment is to build homes that hug the land rather than sit on it. When Stuart learned of the passivhaus standard - and he talks about this in our interview - he felt compelled to focus his business on implementing the key principles it uses. Stuart and the Craftsmen Quality Builders team love what they do, which in turn infuses the structure with love and laughter. Stuart believe this makes their homes feel very special. In this episode, Stuart tells us what is involved in the construction of a Certified Passive House home. These are the questions Stuart and I discuss in this episode ... Why do you believe homeowners should build a passive house (you have a great rundown on this on your website)? What made you commit to being certified as a Passive House Tradesperson? When we look at home construction, how does a Passive House differ to mainstream home construction ... what are you doing differently and how much harder is it? Tell us about your involvement in the Owl Woods Passive House - because I understand you were the one initially that proposed making it a passive house? Is building a Passive House more expensive? How do you suggest homeowners on a budget build a Passive House? It appears to me that a Passive House actually demands a really high level of attention, detail, care and quality from the builder ... and because it needs to be certified at completion to a performance level (with the blower test etc), this is a really good way of getting certainty, as a homeowner, that your home is getting built the way it should. That you’re getting what you’re paying for. Do you see homeowners feeling this way? How do you generally suggest people work well with their builder to get a good result? And do you have key tips for homeowners planning to build a Passive House? How should they start? What should they ask builders they’re speaking to? Even if you are not building a Passive House, I really recommend listening to this episode, as Stuart helps demonstrate the standard to strive for in your renovation or building project. There’s an energy that comes from a great team working well together in a quality, focussed and committed way, that can bring total joy to your life and home in the long term. I think you’ll really hear that in Stuart’s own passion for what he does, and hopefully it inspires you to keep looking until you find a team to support you in the same way for your home. Listen to the episode now. This episode is brought to you by my online course “How to Get it Right in Your Reno or New Home”. This is a superfast course that will help you get ready for your renovation or building project in the best way possible. In it, I share my step-by-step system to help you save time, money and stress in your project, so you can know what you need to know and create the perfect home for you - simply and with confidence … avoiding the dramas and heartaches.

Elizabeth Solopova, Lecturer in English Literature, Christ Church, Oxford. Tolkien wrote that he was 'fascinated' with the 'beautiful' Gothic language that he started to study at school, and his literary works attest to this interest.

This is the third talk in the Tolkien: The Maker of Middle Earth lecture series. This lecture focuses on Tolkien and gothic. This series, convened by Dr Stuart Lee, presents five Oxford academics who examine the medieval languages that J.R.R. Tolkien studied and taught.

This week Kyle and Matthew talk about the '90s cultural force that swept the UK: Britpop! In their journey, they are joined by Meltdown’s resident British person Jake Robinson and the lovely Ben Morse to discuss what constitutes a proper Britpop song. Jake explains his two camps of Britpop: "Swaggery" bands and "Cheeky Fun" bands. They have a nice retrospective on the Blur/Oasis war. They also break down the less talked about Verve vs. Verve Pipe war that was waged here in the United States. They talk about the origins of Britpop, the subgenres and offshoots. Kyle and Jake recommend the BBC documentary “Seven Ages of Rock” as an excellent primer for rock music from an English perspective. They also debate who does a better version of the song “Common People”: Pulp or William Shatner. The gang also chats about the lasting effects of Britpop on both sides of the pond and Natalie learns the horrible truth about Engelbert Humperdinck.
