It was very helpful for me to learn that the First Earl of Sandwich, Edward Montegu, was born in 1625. I have been researching my family tree, and that fact helped me discover that the First Earl was my 2nd cousin 12 times removed. I am directly descended from the First Earl's great-grandfather, Edward Montegu (1485-1557). The First Earl of Sandwich was a contemporary of my immigrant ancestor, John Roades (1624-1701) who was the great-great grandson of Edward Montegu (1485-1557). I have been puzzling over exactly how our families are connected ever since I discovered the name Montegu on my family tree....

So happy to see the eagles returning home again, too. Also, the re-wilding project really pulls at my heart, and I'm so very thankful for everything you're all doing to help Nature reclaim those areas! It's inspiring, educational, necessary, heartwarming, and will prove to be beneficial to Mapperton, too!! Brings back many happy memories of my childhood spent exploring/enjoying meadows and creeks close to home, fossil hunting, climbing trees, watching butterflies, learning about rabbits, foxes, owls, bats, frogs, algae, ..... !!

In any denuded natural area, there is always a key species that is now missing. For example, in the plains of America, three key species are/were prairie dogs, beaver and bison. In Africa, one is the elephant. If you can determine one or two key species that are possible to replace, your rewilding project will cover much faster. Also, in many parts of the US they use bow hunting to cull deer and donate the meat to homeless shelters. Since you have fossils you might add them to your gift shop. Also, you might be able to have the local children out for an education project digging fossils either for slightly more income or as a donation activity for taxes. Also will generate more local interest and foot traffic. Also true for learning activities about the rewilding project. Get the community involved.

The family resemblance in the Hogarth is just astonishing. It could very easily be a childhood portrait of Luke! Its very sweet! Yay Kids! And don't forget to have portraits made of yours when they hit 18! Painted or photographed? That is the question! Do you have a family portrait of all of you together? With dogs! With the original Mom, one eye looks heavenward, and the other is watching the kids! LOL! You know, you could have her eyes corrected before you hang it. We just had an 1860 hand repaired that was attacked by the TV set years ago, looks great!

Grandpa had figured out that the deer didn't like the smell of the soap bars. Thank you for the great memory. Best of luck in keeping the deer out.

I would say thank you to the deer, for living good life, harvest with respect...sell them as prepared smoked cuts and frozen sausage rolls. Venison is healthy & there are companies that ship food that needs to stay refridgerated to customer door. I would also sell online the hides as people use for rugs beside bed or over chairs. Watching a farm utube Veggie Boys that does vegetables and beef, their cows have a very good lifestyle free range. Shows in quality of product. Your deer if can get processed by a responsible farm etc...could be a very holistic healthy work for estate. 😇

Julie, it's strange but I had my portrait drawn this week by the 'artist-in-residence' at our county museum. It was a fun and interesting experience. Apparently she wants me to 'sit' again for a re-run next week. Enjoy the experience. I have often thought that the previous generation's portraits seem odd to us? In part because we know the people as they are now, not then, as it were. Our great-grand-children will be glad to have them, and they will have the benefit to only having met us in passing, we will have passed into 'legend'? Unless, of course, the artist really was hopeless, which seems unlikely. And then of course there is Rembrandt.

@ibuguru 29 күн бұрын

We LOVE Earl John and Countess Caroline. Absolutely do some series on the paintings, e.g. by century, or in [more or less] chronological order. Too many to really properly explore in one session. Bet you can do at least 3 or 4 videos on the people, the artists, historical background, etc. Maybe your father-in-law on the historical background and MIL on the paintings themselves?

@silvijaragis 28 күн бұрын

Can you confirm if the portrait has had some serious overpainting at some point, perhaps to cover damage like the paint in the face area getting skinned from a previous overenthusiastic cleaning? The dress (minus the collar and the prayerbook) seems to be the only part that looks 'right', and it seems faded out, skinned, as well, though it's hard to tell from a KZfaq video. Otherwise the unfortunate lady looks strangely like an Edward Gorey illustration (especially if you remember the PBS Masterpiece Mysteries series which featured his art).
