Oh Terry, what a terrific post! And SOOOOOO authentic - I have visited many stately homes (as a member of the public or as a contractor, not an ennobled hobnobber with the elite) and your guidebook-style text is uncannily accurate! It's ticked all the boxes - I especially like: 'Lord Freedman devoted his energies to the task of educating young people about the importance of disease control.'
you want me to believe that Lord had bombed his had looking for the bathroom in his own gorgeous house? It's our plebeian guide book, is not? Real eclecticism.
You know Terry, in some eclectic way, once a strange thing happened with me when I worked as a guide in the Petersburg. After the city excursion I brought my group by bus to the Ekaterina the Great Palace with park. At that moment, they didn't have enough guides, so an administrator asked me to show park to my group. With my sense of direction I was comlitely lost with my group in that huge park, bombing my head at all trees around me.
HO ! Terry, Love it, mate.... Terrance at his Hilarious best, Towering over that bloke from Knotty Tickleash.... Had a similar experience at 6 Y.O. - woke up in a fever, arose from bed, sent Mum's prize Aspidestera through the Bay Window.......
You nailed it, Terry. This was perfect. I think you have missed your calling here. You are a natural guide book writer. I especially liked the "automated headache tablet dispenser!" Man! I need one of those, and always set on "Jeeez". I loved the fission chips, too.
LOL. Thanks, Sharron. It comes from reading loads of official BS to be honest. Glad you liken the automated tablet dispenser and its settings! Chortle.
Concussion compote. That's the one I really like more than the others but I'm damned if I could say why. I do love a stately home as you may have gathered, though not always fond about f how families accrued then. Lord Freedman is doing great work in education.
Yup, humor Bril, Once read a book of song lyrics with bad translations in German of the English originals, inc "Left me in my Stately Home... as Gefangenis (Prison !!). Mind you, both types of building were built at the instigation of those families you mention.....
Towers of toast with dungeon crevice’s and butter cream creeks along moats pathways filled in, but the wild animals have found the way to gather dewberries as your guide shows the way to page through pictures silently. My breakfast is hours away. But I have woken to see amazement in your experiment in style.
'Fission chips'! 🤣

Haha, thanks, Rebecca. They all seem to have a particular style, don't they.
Yup!
🙂
Love the drawings! 😁 Love this version, too.
Thanks very much, Mary
Haha. I was really hoping you'd have a National Trust style "find object ___" section, and you did! :D
Spot on, Terry.
Great minds, Nathan, great minds! Chortle. Thanks.
Head bangers and Mash. Hilarious, Sir Terry. Love the illustrations.
Cheers, Jim!
Love it. 😊
Thanks Beth! Glad to hear it. I wasn't sure if it worked, but people seem to like it. 😃

I'm a pleb myself

Well you know, Larissa, strange things happen!
You have entertained us again, M'Lud.
Thanks, David!

Blimey. 🙃
Well that was a freaking delight!
Glad you enjoyed it, Tom. 😃

I don't even like them. Whenever I'm obliged to visit one, I tend to prefer the gardens.😁

Funny where Terry's prompts take one....
Ah, The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon! Prison: 🤣. Mind you, probably apposite considering the running costs.

sounds great! I wish I'd thought of it myself!
