Well, I sacked off an afternoon shift, choosing instead to take Teresa and I into Oxfordshire (I think!?), to watch The Sealed Knot re-enact the Battle of Cropredy Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was two hours drive each way. And only three hours at the show. But it was, I think, worth it. Partly just to claim some life and leisure time for oneself, and one\u2019s own interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather intriguingly, the versions of events depicted, narrated over the intercom, and described on the Wiki page for the battle<\/a>, all differ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The re-enactment was more or less a draw. But the commentators said it was actually, historically, a Royalist victory. The Wiki description of things is less clear cut. The fog of war? History is a lie agreed upon!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes me want to read more on the subject. And edumacate myself, on the topic. If poss\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
