Episode notes

Not many women were allowed to have jobs and the future for them was basically to become a carer for their parents. So it was very important that they find a husband who will look after them for the rest of their lives. The dances were danced en masse, a bit like a folk dance. Lots of people all dancing at the same time. And we hold a Regency ball every year at Christmas. People dress up in Regency costumes. And we get musicians who play the right kind of music. It's terrific, really good.

A conversation with my (lovely) mum in which we generally witter on about a number of different things including some British history, ways of describing rain, different expressions for talking (like rambling and wittering), my mum's accent, what she thinks of this podcast and some of her podcast recommendations. Vocabulary is explained after the conversation and there is a vocabulary list available.
