Interesting to see how the captured French invaders’ treatment compared with that of the Nonconformists. As you say, couldn’t happen in these enlightened times…
I also loved Thomas Davies’ rather less than enthusiastic response to the emergency.
Grand stuff. Do you think I could get away with your canny great aunt’s approach to supplementing her diet?

Thanks, Trish. I think you’d have to have my great-aunt’s formidable generalissimo persona. They don’t come like that any more

Fascinating story – I, too, was regaled with some family ‘tales’ when I was growing up – that proved to be more fairy than real!
