Sizergh Castle, Cumbria - Northern England
As big- bro says, we get storms but rarely earthquakes of any considerable force. I suspect that as many wealthy Tudors slept whilst their servants slept on the floor in the room, that curtains were deemed necessary and the Tester was part ...

Stumpery ! The instant I saw the word I knew the Wizzley community with our huge thirst for knowledge would find the word of interest. I was fascinated by it and The Stumpery at Sizergh was a very interesting addition to the garden.

I think that the tester made curtains around the bed more practical.

Earthquakes are not the biggest problem in Britain and Britons on the whole do not take earthquake precautions, but the possibility of a ceiling collapse was more pressing. The tester bed might be for that. But the hard top was a good defence ...

I had not encountered the word stumpery before. And neither has my word checker, for it is being underlined. This happens with little used words.
I am wondering if the tester bed would offer protection from storms that could compromise a roof, ...

I do so agree. Given that realistically we don't get to see these places for real, seeing them through the eyes of our Wizzley friends is a lovely way to visit.

Much in Little: food production in a small space
Don't think of the American usage as a distortion, for I suspect that Scottish usage might be at the root of this
lingustic nuance, for the Scots used to call a garden a kaleyard, so yard in Scottish usage could denote a garden. Whether this ...

Frak, I just recalled the man behind square foot gardening's name. It was Melvin.

Much in Little: food production in a small space
About 30 or more years ago an engineer named N+Bartholomew, I cannot recall his first name, wrote a book and promoted on television a concept called square foot gardening, where one makes square feet areas in the form a=of a grid. Then one ...

Much in Little: food production in a small space
In the U. S. a backyard refers to the area behind the house, or on the opposite side of the house from the street. It is used in urban and suburban places, where houses occupy most of the width of the land. In my area homes are often set 20 ...
