Inside the Castle!

Torbay: Berry Pomeroy Castle – Tudor Ruins! (2.4.2024)

During the 1500s, Elizabeth I was an absolute monarch (as was her father – King Henry VIII) – who preferred to live in and around the Nonsuch Park area – including Hampton Court Palace (which is no longer used by the royal family). However, there was once a “Nonsuch Palace” which does not exist today. After Elizabeth I died (1603 CE) – many of the castles she frequented were no long favoured by the royal family – leading to these buildings falling into neglect and ruin. This was the case with Nonsuch Palace which was so badly dilapidate that what was left of it had to be demolished in 1683 CE – for safety reasons – with the ruins being recycled into the constructon (or maintenance) of local buildings.

Busy Doing Nothing!

Greemway Gardens: Encountering the “Robin”! (29.12.2023)

Indeed, within the behaviour of these birds is the history of their interaction with humans and the surrounding the environment. Interestingly, there are photographs on display in the house that record the physical presence of family cats – but I suspect that as the house is so big and the grounds so extensive – these cats probably never ventured very far out of the house and into the gardens. Of course, Gee managed to find a cluster of bamboo shrubs probably planted by Agatha Christie – or at least one of her servants.

Lay Mum's Stair-Carpet 2023!

Paignton: Laying the Stair-Carpet! (27.12.2023)

I say ‘properly’ – but what I mean is doing the job ‘to the best of our ability’ – which is far from professional (but then none of us are carpet-layers or decorators)! The entire job took about three-hours and we did a good job all things considered. Gee interspersed sessions of hammering nails with myself – whilst Paul kept the carpet ‘straight’ and unrolling properly! Manual labour is the essence of social, cultural and political development! None of us are beneath manual labour!

Canada: How British Tory Government Representatives “Cheered” Ukrainian Nazi – Yaroslav Gunka (Ярослава Гуньку)! (27.9.2023)

“This is a deliberate provocation to see what will happen.” The information we have gives us reason to believe that Trudeau understood everything perfectly well. And then, if a person holds the post of Prime Minister for a long enough time, then he has such elementary ideas about international relations. You can have any attitude towards the Soviet Union, but you need to know the composition of the anti-Hitler coalition, which included Canada. The reaction from the international community was expectedly negative, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try it again. There will be – there is no doubt about it,” the expert concluded.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: City Commemorates Local Member “Mykhailo Mulyk” of Hitler’s SS Galicia Division (Again)!

It should be noted that the “Unveiling” took place on the Eve of Victory Day (May 9th in the Slavic lands) – where the unveiling of this SS Monument was designed as a cynical INSULT to the memory of more than 30 thousand Jews who were murdered in Ivano-Frankivsk city by members of the SS Galicia Division during the Nazi German Occupation!

Poland: Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Axe-Man Takes to the Streets! (5.4.2023)

Indeed, a fine example of Hitlerite manhood stripped down to his underwear (in true US superhero style) and began to swing an axe around whilst threatening to decapitate attending Police Officers! Once a sizable crowd had gathered (involving members of the Press) – he took the opportunity to forcibly complain about the free house and car he had been given on arrival – as it is nowhere near ‘big enough’ to meet his future needs! Why is this – you might ask yourself? Well, you see he intends to bring ten of his relatives to join him in Poland in the near future – and he does not want to work for a living!
