The Irish Princess and her dynastic marriage to a Norman that helped shape Europe. Aoife, Princess of Leinster -> Catherine, The Princess of Wales. The Princess of Wales is Aoife, Princess of Leinster and Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke 26th Great-Granddaughter  via her paternal grandfather’s line.

** Aoife or Eva, Princess of Leinster, played a pivotal role in the history of Ireland and the Norman expansion. She was the daughter of Diarmaid MacMurrough, King of Leinster, who sought the help of the Normans to secure his throne and defeat his enemies. As part of this alliance, Aoife married the Norman leader Richard de Clare, known as ‘Strongbow,’ on 25 August 1170. This marriage marked the arrival of the Normans in Ireland, just 104 years after their conquest of England by William the Conqueror.

Through their daughter, Isabelle de Clare, The 4th Countess of Pembroke, the union of Aoife and Strongbow forged a lineage that would shape the future of European nobility. Isabelle became an ancestor of nearly every reigning monarch across Europe. Within a few generations, her descendants included much of the European aristocracy, including all the Kings of Scotland since Robert the Bruce (1274–1329) and every monarch of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom since Henry IV (1367–1413).

#aFactADay2024

#1102: in Halesworth, Suffolk, there's a level crossing over the railway that's also a platform! half of each platform is on rollers, and splits in two and rotates inwards (over the track) to form a gap either side of the rail line, opening the road. each of the four 70-tonne moving sections of platform had to be moved manually, on simple but efficient rollers, which took a while. when trains came by too close together to have time to fully open the platforms, smaller sections of platform could be more quickly opened for pedestrians. there's an electronic model of the mechanism in the station.

as the railways in britain grew rapidly, the station in Halesworth, a small town in Suffolk, became insufficient for the increasingly longer trains. unlike most other places where this was the case, they didn't have the space either side of the platform to expand the platform, because of a road one way and warehouses belonging to the railway the other way. the platform is now grade II listed because of its uniqueness.

it stopped operating in the 50s when an increase in cars warranted a larger road and a bridge shortly up the line. you can see where a road goes up to the line and peters out [highlighted], and the platform and mechanism still remain today.

NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2024

Hello all,

Hope all is well with everyone, despite all the nasty illnesses going round, that I had a piece of too. It's been a little while since the last newsletter, here in brief is the latest news and details of some forthcoming shows. 

AWARD NOMINATION

For the fourth year running, I've been nominated in the UK Blues Awards, this time in the new category of Traditional Blues Artist of the Year. It would be great if you could spare the time to vote for me, it doesn't take long. For your vote to count, you have to vote in at least 5 categories. I'm aware that many people who like and follow what I do may not be hugely knowledgeable of the UK Blues world, so by way of help with that I can point out festivals I've played (Swanage and Upton), venues I've done gigs at (100 Club Tuesday Blues, Tuesday Night Music Club, Temperance), shows I've been on (Cerys Matthews, Gary Grainger, Richard Dunning, Paul Long), and artists I know personally (Acoustic, Trevor Steger). It would be great to get enough votes so please do also share this link for voting with anyone you know who might also vote (voting closes on Sunday 25th February):

voting UK Blues Awards

NEW ALBUM

Called Fools & Clowns, this will be out pretty soon, the last of the behind the scenes preparation is currently going on. It'll be available for pre-order before long, and at gigs too. 

We're really pleased with it, and it's a bit of a departure from what we've done before, building on our style to produce a slightly different set of sounds. The songs are all newly written originals, with a range of subject matter that you don't normally come across in songs (as usual). It's unmistakeably us, and hopefully it'll have you smiling, thinking and dancing! More information soon, including ordering link. 

DATES

Lots of shows in great venues coming up. We're out there doing something new and original, with recognisable elements of the classic music of the past. If you loved the great artists of the golden period decades ago, you'll like what we do too and recognise it as something that may well have fitted in well back then. And it really is new, with songs about life as people live it today, and stories you won't have heard before, all delivered with totally individual musicianship. Do come to shows and do spread the word to anyone you feel will like what we do.

Details are also here:

15-7 Haskerton

Mijn voorgevoel gisteren was juist. Het regende vanaf het moment dat ik mijn servet opvouwde na de lemon parfait.

Ik fietste nog een uurtje door de regen en arriveerde toen bij de Three rivers camping, noem het maar beekjes trouwens, waar de Britse elite van het buitenleven geniet. Je kunt er les in Canadese kano’s nemen en zwemmen zonder verdrinkingsgevaar. De camping zelf bestaat uit een strook gras van pakweg 30 meter breed en 400 meter lang. Ik kreeg mijn plekje helemaal aan het einde van de strook, dus als ik naar het toiletgebouw wilde, liep ik vijf minuten door de regen langs alle landrovers met gepersonaliseerde nummerborden en kampementen die zo uit de catalogus van Noble Outdoorlife komen. Stel je enorme partytenten voor van het merk Coleman met daaronder grote tafels, picknickmanden en wijnkoelers, gecapitionneerde klapstoelen, vuurkorven gevuld met eersteklas gedroogd hout, aan te schaffen bij de receptie, en tot slot kleine slaaptenten. Tot diep in de nacht knalden de kurken (uiteraard worden hier geen blikjes opengetrokken), renden de kinderen rond en zaten de jachthonden elkaar achterna. Ik ben gewend dat het na tienen stil is op de camping, maar dit is een andere wereld.

Maar goed, ik bracht de rest van de middag en avond liggend in mijn tent door, afwisselend De moord op de commendatore van Murakami herlezend, het stokbroodje dat ik die ochtend gekocht had knabbelend en slapend. Ik werd wakker toen de regen stopte en kon nog even fijn mijn tanden poetsen. Ik had dus niet gedoucht en evenmin mijn fietsbroek uitgewassen, want er was geen droger op de camping waar ik de natte spullen even in kon gooien. Die heb je toch niet nodig als met een Landrover vol hutkoffers aankomt tenslotte. Enfin, morgen gaat het lekker waaien dus dan ruikt niemand me, bedacht ik om mijn geweten te sussen.

Vanmorgen word ik iets over vijven al wakker, aan de overkant van de sloot, pardon river, was een boer met machines bezig op zijn land. Ik pak de natte bende in. Ik had gehoopt dat de storm al gearriveerd zou zijn, dan had ik een fijne droge tent gehad, maar het is nog windstil en alles zit onder de dauw.

In Halesworth dronk ik koffie bij een hippe deli met wifi. Zo kon ik meteen een ticket boeken voor de nachtboot van zondagavond (ja, wel drie keer gecontroleerd, echt morgenavond).

Half tien nog maar een koffie in Pease Hall. Ik ben al aardig op weg richting Harwich. Het gaat nu wel harder waaien, maar door al die heggen en bosjes heb ik er relatief weinig last van

In Framlingham staat een prachtig kasteel maar het stadje is onbegaanbaar vanwege de horseshow die dit weekend gaande is. Ik eet een snelle sandwich bij de bakker en ga door.

Om half drie ben ik bij Shrubbery Farm vlak voor Woodbridge. De procedure wordt uitgelegd door middel van bordjes aan de hekken. De hele camping stikt trouwens van de bordjes. Niet de dieren voeren. Voer je oude brood aan de ganzen., ze zullen je hun dankbaarheid tonen.

Maar de procedure dus. Je zoekt een plekje, gaat dan naar de groene schuur en vult het formulier in, stopt het in een envelop, en dan loop je naar het woonhuis en dat gooi je met het geld door de achterdeur naar binnen. Je mag het geld ook overmaken, maar daarvoor ontbreken een aantal gegevens op het formulier. Dus ik bel maar even op en ik mag naar het huis komen.

Daar hangt weer een briefje op de achterdeur: ring the bell, use the knocker, open the door and shout! Terwijl ik dit op me laat inwerken loopt een boze pakjesbezorger voorbij en ik zie dat er een oude dame in de serre zit. Beleefd meld ik me en ik krijg eerst een hele uitleg over het pakje dat niet afgegeven mag worden, daarna gaat het over haar recente hartaanval en tot slot kan ik mijn probleem uitleggen. Ik wil graag contant betalen, maar heb het niet gepast. Ik heb twee tientjes en wil zes pond terug. Eerst krijg ik 60 pence terug, maar daar ga ik niet mee akkoord. Na enig nadenken, erkent ze de fout en krijg ik het juiste wisselgeld. Het formulier wil ze niet aannemen, dat moet in de bus. Ik schrijf er voor alle zekerheid op dat ik contant betaald heb en in welke vorm.

Als ik de tent opzet komt er een man op me af, die me uitnodigt voor drinks. Nou zeg ik, eerst even douchen. OK zegt hij, ik heet Andy en we zitten in het motorhome. Maar als ik daar dan later aanklop, is er niemand. Ik denk dat hij bedoelde, ga je mee naar de pub? Maar waar hij dan kan zitten, ik heb geen idee. Nou ja, mijn drinks komen nog wel vanavond. En die tent was natuurlijk in een minuut drooggewaaid, wat een wind!

Ready to Comply: Pt2 of Reapers Fall Simon Riley x Fem!Reader

Flashes of moments. Flashes of moments you couldn’t recognize or understand. Something loud going off, things falling. The feeling of heat, and then nothing. Waking up to a blinding light, blurry faces standing over you, a cold sensation spreading through you. Then it was burning, like your body was on fire. You couldn’t move as you screamed your voice hoarse. In and out of consciousness, all you felt was pain and confusion.

Starless Lovers Drabble Sato kom Trikru x Fem!Reader, Bellamy Blake xFem! Reader

"Sato." You looked up, glancing over at where Bellamy stood, seeing him already looking down at you, his jaw clenched. "Who- who was he to you?" You sighed, smiling softly as you turned, laying your head on top of your arms that were wrapped around your legs. "Sato was- he was a flame. Burning and deadly. He was my protector, and he was my- he was mine. Maybe in another world, another life, we were meant for a happy ending. But not here, not this time."

The Wolfs Revenge pt2 Uhtred x Fem!Reader

“She wears her lover’s mask, concealing her identity. Those who have seen her face, have not lived to see another day.” One of the men scoffed, shaking his head. “She’s on a quest for revenge, something she’s already done. She brings shame to her lover’s name. She is not this great warrior you proclaim her to be.” The man turned, glaring as he shook his head, scoffing. “She’s a greater warrior than you will ever be Halesworth.”

Untitled Bingo Series Steve Rogers x Fem!Reader

“What?” “You got caught by Tony. Didn’t you call him a big brained idiot?” “Yes.” “And he’s the one who managed to capture you.” “Well, you certainly weren’t going to be the one to bring me in.” She grinned, tilting her head to the side. “You’ve been trying for how long now?”
