@Genera1Burns I can imagine his excuse:
"I have journalists here, the best journalists, the best in the world. None of those fake news liberals. Just emotionally patriotic Fox News journalists."
Kettlewell nearly didn't survive ๐
In 1686, heavy rain sent water cascading off the surrounding hills straight into the village, demolishing houses and forcing residents to flee.
Kettlewell and neighbouring Starbotton were both almost destroyed that day.
340 years later, the village stands exactly where it always has. Cottages rebuilt, lead mines long closed and a scarecrow festival now drawing more visitors than the floods ever chased away.
Some places just refuse to disappear.
