You've certainly been closer than I have.

But uh what I want to do is is talk about some of the the most memorable historical places that you've been um in the past.

And I'll I'll throw in um some of my own.

I thought maybe we could start with the last place I think I saw you, uh which was in Runnymede.

Yeah.

Because we were down there it was quite a cold day, as I recall.

Yeah.

Uh but we had rather a nice time talking about Magna Carta there.

twenty fifteen was the big anniversary for Magna Carta, so that was the eight hundredth anniversary and um I live about three miles away from Ronnie Mead, so it's despite all

So despite

So you you've been down there before.

Well, in twelve fifteen, and listeners to our s our regular fixed or dynasties of die for will cast their minds back and remember when we were talking about King John.

But i in this time there was you know, you had the barons

very angry with John for all of his uh his manipulations of the law and all of his oppressions and all of his tyrannies, camped in stains.

Ah and then you had the king at Windsor and it was this this sort of meeting point in the middle where because of the geography of the river

it was almost impossible to launch an ambush.

Yes.

Whenever we think about historical places, I think it's always worth trying to go.

Do you agree?

If you if you're trying to narrate a story about a place and and you haven't you don't know what the f the physicality of that spot is like, you can often miss the most obvious things about a story.
