Episode notes

A Regency Ballroom is a ballroom that comes from that period. Going to the ball was a very good way of meeting people at that time. The dances were danced en masse, which means in a group or together. Men would be wearing these kinds of frilly shirts and tight trousers and neckties,. Also, the expression heaving bosoms came up in this conversation. Luke: I think explaining all of that made it easier for us to understand language. Next thing is, in common parlance we talk about the Regency era.

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.
