Very much not finished but unlike most of the things I paint these are heading to the table soon! Sunday in fact. So some basic slaps of colour later and I've got some dragoons to add to my WSS French.
Come on, Marlborough! I'll make you work for that palace.

They should take Emerald Fennel's bank account and give it to working class filmmakers I'm so serious. We don't need the viewpoint of Marlborough college alumni anymore

🧵Watch out for a waving monk, dressed in a white cloak, at Thornhill Pond, Marlborough Monastery’s old carp pond. He was seen by two boys one hot August afternoon in 1975. Only seen from the knee up, he appears to float. He stands where the land would have been in medieval times.

Printed comemmorative handkerchief, 1707.
The handkerchief gives 'An account of 5 most glorious victorys obtaind by the confederets in 3 succeding campains viz Schellenberg Hochstadt Barcelona Ramilly & Turin'.
Ref T.85-1934, V & A Museum.
The design used here of arabesques with roundels containing coats of arms around the borders is known from other handkerchiefs. It must have been printed from a re-usable engraved metal plate that had a central space for inserting a topical design. The handkerchief gives 'An account of 5 most glorious victorys obtaind by the confederets in 3 succeding campains viz Schellenberg Hochstadt Barcelona Ramilly & Turin'. These victories were under the leadership of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722), appointed Captain General of British Forces and Supreme Commander of Allied Forces, following the French invasion of the Spanish Netherlands in 1701. Marlborough is considered one of the foremost strategists and military administrators in British history.

Although Blenheim is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Marlborough, the palace and grounds are owned by the Blenheim Palace Heritage Foundation – a change made by the current Duke’s father in the light of Jamie Blandford’s well-publicised struggles with drug addiction and criminal behaviour.

These are the people ACT are injecting into local councils, who arguably affect your daily life more than central government.

For goodness sake, get out and VOTE (not for these stale old pricks)

Councillor John Hyndman was the largest spender in Marlborough's local body election last year, partly due to services provided for free from the ACT party. Photo: Supplied Councillor Malcolm Taylor was the second highest electoral spender. Taylor said his conservative stance on rates and Mãori wards helped secure his victory in the Marlborough Sounds ward. Photo: Supplied
