Tip 3/6: It doesn’t matter what time you arrive at a fair…

A well-earned wander among the stands for #historian [IG]seekthehistoric after delivering a series of fascinating talks during the fair, and still plenty of stock to see as exhibitors bring out new items throughout the day.

Fastnacht & Fußball – Royal Shrovetide Football

Fastnacht, Karneval, Fasching … die fünfte Jahreszeit hat in Deutschland viele Namen. Dass das öffentliche Leben für mehrere Tage zugunsten einer ausgelassenen Massenbelustigung stillsteht, ist keine Seltenheit. In Ashbourne bei Manchester geschieht an diesen Tagen etwas Ähnliches – und doch ganz anderes: Dort heißt die Massenbelustigung schlicht „Football“.

Royal Shrovetide […]

Man erkennt leicht unscharf eine Menschentraube, aus der sich sieben Personen erheben, weil sie von anderen gestützt werden. Sowohl die Menschen in der Traube als auch die leicht erhobenen Personen versuchen einen blau-grünen Ball mit einem gemalten Bild mit den Händen zu berührenEine große Menschenmenge hat sich unter freiem Himmel versammelt, die meisten Teilnehmenden sind männlich gelesene Personen. Sie strecken ihre Hände nach oben, um einen bunten Ball zu fangen, der sich in der Luft befindet. Der Ball zeigt die britische Flagge. Auf einem erhöhten, gemauerten Podest stehen mehrere Personen in Anzügen und Mänteln, einer von ihnen hat den Ball gerade in die Menge geworfen. Eine britische Flagge weht über ihnen. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und Zuschauer*innen zu sehen.Vor dem Haus kämpfen männlich gelesene Personen um den Shrovetide-Fußball und stehen teilweise auf Pflanzenkübeln. Im Haus schauen vor allem weiblich gelesene Personen am Fenster zu,. Viele haben gerade ihre Handys rausgeholt, um zu filmen. Sie finden es total spannend.

For #textureTuesday - rather elaborate stonework in a disused railway cutting in #Ashbourne, #Derbyshire. From January 2019.
Stone blocks of varying shapes and sizes, very neatly rectangular but with rugged front faces - all packed together without visible mortar, in a random but ordered pattern to form an imposing, extremely sturdy-looking wall. Moss and algae cover the upper-facing parts of the rugged fronts, while silvery salt deposits lighten other areas.

#Solar #DoubleStandards:

A local living in #Ashbourne had to remove the solar panels
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derb from her listed building otherwise she would be jailed, yet it was fine to put them on one of the most historic buildings in England: telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2

That's not fair :(

One rule for the elite, another for everyone else....

Edit: She lives in Ashbourne, not Wirksworth, sorry!

Only an hour and 15 mins to go. Only one team can score really now. #Upards very close but #Downards can still stop them

Dusk is setting in the sky, foreground is dominated by a still body of water, filled with plants, reflecting the darkening sky. To the left in the near distance, a street light highlights the green field in which many silhouettes of people can be seen, dotted with some in reflective clothing
