🌿 More Than Words – Episode 31: The Long And Winding Road 🌿
From Alpine sporting delusions to quiet Cheshire villages casually hiding Vikings, ghosts, and one extremely questionable medieval wedding — Stage 31 confirms that England’s countryside has been weird for a very long time.
Featuring:
🎿 Skiing: the traditional British activity of falling over abroad
🥌 Curling: sweeping ice while pretending this is normal behaviour
🎸 Liverpool: ships, songs, and a modest global cultural footprint
🧼 Port Sunlight: Victorian soap money accidentally inventing urban planning
⚔️ Brunanburh: the battle that may have created England (location still TBD)
✈️ Hooton: aristocrats, RAF pilots, and eventually Vauxhall Astras
📜 Backford: chained Bibles and a three-year-old groom bribed with fruit
⛪ Tilstone Fearnall: rotating a church so one admiral liked the view
👻 Duddon: headless housekeeper still haunting the customer service desk
🐎 Calveley: medieval knight, massive horses, minimal follow-up questions
It’s travel with Viking admin, soap-baron philanthropy, Civil War ghosts, battlefield guesswork, and several centuries of Britain quietly making very odd decisions.
