It's pretty awesome to9 be fair.... Get to ride land rovers about, feed the deer in winter adn get really close to the red stags.....and I have the keys to Old John... Mwa ha! :D
@FayBrotherhood mwa ha indeed!! have you ever spent the night in there?? that would be sooo cool!! red stags are magnificent aren't they. we came across one in the woods where we walk one evening. my dog stopped still and just pointed and we looked up the path and there he was just standing, taking us in. we didn't breathe!! he looked at us for a while, bowed his head and then just strolled into the woods without a care in the world. we were just WOW!!!
Aww brill thank you! I love Braggy, I worked there as a ranger for a couple of seasons (and still am an unofficial ranger.....still got keys and radio anyway!) I'm, intending to write a song about lady Jane at some point :D
@FayBrotherhood wow!!! that is REALLY cool to have been a ranger there! and a song about lady jane, i really look forward to that. and keys to the park....i'm sooo jealous now! (in a good way!)
@FayBrotherhood you are absolutely right and i stand corrected!! i so should research before i take my father's ramblings as gospel!! maybe he didn't really fly secret missions during the korean war either!! having said that, i used to love playing in bradgate park so much as a child. it's a place where yout immagination can really run and i love it.what a different world it might have been if they'd upheld her claim to the throne eh!! thanks for dropping by. lovin' your music! have subbed :-)))
@ian38018 of course!! i love this park, i used to run around it bare foot as a child and play all sorts of games there, mostly 'quests' to the underworld with red bracken torches to light my way. :-))) thanks for dropping by.
@lillith886 hope it will be played for my burial... Lilith, I insist, but to me it is all times greatest tune, all music genres included, But what it could be without Sandy ? bonjour de la France Michel
I remember Julianne Regan singing Who Knows where the Time Goes at Cropreddy in 1991. It was great weekend :) And beautiful and fitting photos. Thank you, Lillith.
wasn't it the aniversary of her death recently. a sad loss for the world, but her music is still with us. i grew up near this place and was always fascinated by the story of elizabeth woodville. she was reputedly a witch and won the heart of edward IV. she became the queen after he put away his first wife but the price she paid was the lives of her two sons, the princes in the tower. folklore has it that they were'nt both murdered and that the grave of richard plantagenet is just down the road
Yet another beautiful song, Fairport at their vintage best. (I miss Sandy!) And the photos you used are gorgeous in their own right, a distinctive geography steeped in human history. I've been meaning to do a video using Fairport, too, and you're further inspiring me to get off my backside and DO IT. (hee-hee) I was thinking "Crazy Man Michael", "The Hiring Fair" or "Close To The Wind". "Crazy Man Michael" would best suit my channel's theme, plus one can't go wrong with a Richard Thompson song.

Evocative though the images are and, yes the lyric could refer to the unfortunate Lady Jane. But the song is, of course, about Mary, Queen of Scots.
