Nice family group: September 1917

@fakehistoryhunt They call it "modern family living in a forever home"Everything is opened up, walls taken dien to make the whole ground floor a single room...then they paint it white.I looked at an old 17th century house inthe village. All the downstairs internal walls removed and its 1 room now

Still many of the gorgeous original details, showing us that the house was once full of colour. We'll have to strip a LOT of boring white paint, I reckon this building originally just had a lot of nice dark polished wood.

Oh boys and girls, auntie Jo has found another real estate gem... and it only costs 4 million Euros... This may be one of the most gorgeous houses I´ve ever seen. A Dutch 1917 villa: funda.nl/detail/koop/wa…

@WheresTommyV Marvellous!

BONUS-POINT TRY! Saints' class coming to the fore now. Ollie Sleightholme scores tries, and he gathers the ball from behind him and turns on the turbos before finishing in fine fashion. Belleau misses. Quins 24-26 Saints. Sixteen minutes to go.

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 @ROH_London Morning Georgia from sunny Burwash. Bear with on this.. Plymouth, where most of the D Day invasion craft left from The Met Office confirmed the weather for the invasion. Ergo...the orchestral version of the theme to the Longest Day 😄

Morning! On @BBCRadio3 I’ve got Brandenburg 5, a Chopin Berceuse, a sneak preview of Mozart’s The Magic Flute from @ROH_London & Walton’s Portsmouth Point in honour of The Shipping Forecast in the Playlister 📻👌🎹☕️🎤

@BBCRadio3 @Ianskellyradio3 May I just point out please that the scoring of Military Bands and Brass Bands are totally different. Holst wrote these suites for military scored bands which is what we can hear. The BBC once had a Military Band! When in need,call for the reed!

It appears that the @RAFAssociation Think that there was no British involvement in Victory over Japan...Why??

@RAFAssociation Is this purely for the US market??

@Ianskellyradio3 @BBCRadio3 The Royal Sussex was the tune from 1759... Lives in Sussex Former Army Musician 😁

@Ianskellyradio3 @BBCRadio3 I think you'll find that "The Royal Sussex" was the official Regimental March of the Regiment. Although played by the Royal Sussex Regt, and sung by the Soldiers in a bawdy version in ww1 Sussex By The Sea was not the Regimental March. A tune from Quebec in 1759!

Edward Elgar, Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge all had strong associations with the South Downs. Any music by them, or others, would build a playlist inspired by John Ireland’s A Downland Suite. Join me on Essential Classics and help make it happen from 9.30 til 1 @BBCRadio3.
