Weather, History, and the Fosse Way

This chapter humorously discusses the impact of England's rainy weather on daily life while introducing the new book 'A Year on the Foss,' which explores the historical and wildlife significance of the ancient Fosse Way. It delves into the Roman conquest of Britain, focusing on battles such as those led by Queen Boudica and the strategic importance of this historic road. The conversation interweaves personal experiences with reflections on Latin education and the cultural legacy left by the Romans and Celtic tribes.
