Bristol

In the year 1713, the quaint Dutch city of Utrecht was the scene of an important ceremony.

It took place in a house which has been since pulled down to make room for a barrack, then the residence of the Bishop of Bristol, probably the last English bishop ever employed upon such an errand.

Yet the ceremony was one in which a bishop might well take an interest, for it was the ceremony of signing a treaty of peace, which put an end to a long, wearisome, and bloody war.

A great many treaties claim notice in history, each professing to be a general pacification of Europe, but many seem really to be little more than truces.

Harburg also near Hamburg was the centre of trade, and there was in the south the very ancient capital of Hameln, but its population was not large.

In the mining districts no doubt the numbers to the square mile would be large, but elsewhere with few towns and not many villages and an agricultural population it cannot have been great.

The largest town, Lunenburg, would be a little more than half the size of Bristol.

The estimate hardly rises above guesswork, but we may infer that the whole population of the electorate did not exceed half a million, less than one-tenth of the population of England and Wales, less than the population of London which had already begun to be disproportionate in its growth.

It's not, and if you think this is housing millions of pounds worth of care, and I don't know at that point, I still don't know, was it hundreds or thousands of patients? And this is what we're pulling it together on.

And then I'd see Bristol.

Well, I can get lost at Bristol Temple Meads bus station.

So if you tell me one of our patients is in Bristol, but you don't know where they are, How and why are we funding somebody in Bristol? For what?

When you're based in London.

I'm based in London.

But wherever they go across the country, you have to keep tabs.

You have to have the patients reviewed and reassessed to ensure that the funding goes to what they need.

Inviting us to reflect upon and lovingly prod a little into the corners of my soul.

Big hugs from Bristol, UK.

Thanks for always translating Fahrenheit into Celsius.

I love the details you give about the weather.

Myself, Ed Price, and Jim Harley this evening.

Um, and we will be talking about Gloucester's first game of the season, a narrow defeat away to Bristol in the Prem Cup at Ashton Gate.

Um, I did attend.

Uh, Jim was otherwise engaged at a music festival on the Dorset-Wiltshire border as we've just discovered, that I didn't know it was that close to the Dorset-Wiltshire border.

I made up my mind really late in the day because I thought, "Well, I'll wait and see what the team looks like on the S- on, uh, on the Friday," and it was pretty strong.

And I think the result kind of bears that out in terms of, um...

It was a close game, so 43-40 to Bristol.

Jim, you've had the chance to sort of at least view the highlights now.

And this time also began a transfer of her from prison to prison.

Corfy Castle, Gloucester, Marlborough, and finally Bristol.

And it's Bristol where she died in the year 1241.

Her death at Bristol Castle ended her 39-year-long imprisonment, which is the longest recorded imprisonment of any English royal in history.

All for the crime.

of being the daughter of John's older brother, Geoffrey.

She was initially buried at St. James Priory in Bristol, but was later moved to Amesbury Abbey, which had a strong association with the Plantagenet family.

And perhaps a bit remorseful for having kept her in such a long imprisonment, it's said that in 1246, Henry III endowed a chaplain to say daily masses for the repose of her soul.

And I want to make things better for people.

And essentially, I went to UWE in Bristol, and I studied business and HR.

And living in Gloucester, there's not that many big companies here that were onboarding kind of like HR, like fresh graduates so I found myself taking my first role in the NHS and relocating to London and yeah throughout my whole career I basically saw a recurring problem and that was staff struggling to find housing when they were having a role and I myself experienced it so obviously I was moving two and a half hours away from home And found myself living on my mum's friend's sofa for the first three weeks because I couldn't find somewhere.

And I just remember thinking, what a welcome to your new role.

So I'm focusing in the southwest area.

So the region is Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire.

So Bristol and Gloucester, essentially.

Looking ahead, what is the impact that CASA will have?

little trip.

It was to my old school in a place called Winterbourne in Bristol, Winterbourne Academy.

It's actually South Gloucestershire.

It was brilliant.

Whatever Washington intended by keeping Miller home, it didn't keep the crucible from spreading.

Because later that same year, there were productions in Bristol, England and Paris, France, before coming back to the U.S. at Chicago's Goodman Theatre in January 1955.

Meanwhile, Miller continued to write about the dangers of betrayal and conformity in two new one-act plays, A View from the Bridge and A Memory of Two Mondays.

They closed on Broadway in 1956, the same year that Miller's secret relationship with famed actress Marilyn Monroe became public.
