@Pollinators @eabolden in nearby #DaneCounty #cranes are commonly seen. This couple was particularly interested in pecking at my car tires in #Middleton #Wisconsin in September of 2021.
_The Evening Post_, 28 October 1924:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
It is proverbial that troubles never come singly, and this was exemplified on Friday morning, when Commander #Middleton, a retired naval officer, residing in Clarke road, #Onehunga, discovered one of his #cows dead (states the “New Zealand Herald”), the loss being accentuated by the fact that it was a beautiful little Jersey, a 300lb [ca. 140 kg] tested butter-fat cow. The owner promptly paid a visit by motor to the stock inspector, in order to obtain his opinion whether it had died from eating the black clover which is now growing so profusely. Returning home, he found his garage and washhouse a mass of flames, and in a few minutes it was only a smouldering heap. However, in accordance with the custom in the Navy, the owner took his loss quite philosophically, consoling himself with the reflection that if the fire had occurred an hour earlier he would have lost his motor-car also.

Middleton Moor, Derbyshire, in the cool and the moody sun.

The play only ran for 9 days in August 1624 - the political stuff, despite being disguised with the (arguably racist) chess allegory, was too volatile, and the censors intervened. There’s also extreme and sexual violence, but that’s normal for Jacobean drama.
The company is also doing a live performance I can’t be part of, but when the YouTube material is released I’ll post a link. #EarlyModern #EarlyModernDrama #Middleton #ThomasMiddleton https://social.coop/@CommonMugwort/112914852429640728
social.coopArtemisia Vulgaris (@CommonMugwort@social.coop)I haven’t been able to do much performing lately, but am gearing up for a bit of remote performance with Beyond Shakespeare in commemoration of the 400th Anniversary of A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton.
The play is famous in Early Modern literature circles because it satirised the failed attempts to form a marriage alliance between the future Charles I and the Infanta of Spain - which might have soothed the rift between the two countries.

Here's a shot from deep below #Middleton in #Derbyshire, it's an abandoned #LimestoneMine which can still be made operational if need be.
Where we were is approx. 200ft down, the workings span 25 miles over 3 levels, it's worked on the room and pillar method, with rooms 13 m wide and pillars 17 m square, ceiling height is 8 m.
It is immense, just for scale we have Westy lighting up the tunnel ahead.
