@jonsopel1.bsky.social Hi Jon - loved reading Strangeland but I think there's a point to correct relating to La Marseillaise: according to a French historian friend the 'sang impur' refers to their own 'impure blood' - compared with aristocratic 'blue blood' - not their enemy's.

It’s surprising this hasn’t received more attention, but a breathtaking 50ft sculpture, Dignity, was recently unveiled in South Dakota. Created by artist Dale Lamphere, this incredible piece honors the women of the Sioux Nation and their enduring strength, grace, and resilience.

Radio 3's 'Christmas Around Europe' is a total joy. Wonderful music and delightful snippets of the various exotic local languages ... Czech, Finnish ... all adding to the glorious occasion.
