While I’m fighting for my life trying to hammer this fic into shape and actually finish it, have what is the first part of the first chapter of baby Nightingale at Casterbrook

The night before he first left for Casterbrook his Uncle Stanley took him aside, to impart some last advice that he believed would help Thomas at school. That his own experiences at Casterbrook would turn out to be fundamentally different to those of Stanley, who could only be considered a wizard of average abilities if one were feeling particularly charitable, Thomas had had no way of knowing that night.

"And stay away from that Mellenby boy," Stanley said at last, straightening out the creases that had formed around his knees as he had knelt before Thomas, "if he is anything like his father he is nothing but trouble"

Had Stanley raised any children of his own he would have known that prohibition only inspired adverse action. As it was, his words only made Thomas want to meet David Mellenby more, whoever that was.

Casterbrook, it turned out, was everything he had hoped it would be and more.They were a small group, as years at Casterbrook were prone to be, all of them following in the footsteps of a father or, as was the case for Thomas, an uncle. While he had never met any of the boys before his arrival at Casterbrook, when he wrote to Stanley - supplying, as he had been instructed to do beforehand, a complete list of all the other boys in his form - his uncle knew how each of them was connected to the Folly.

No doubt the others were informed in similar fashion, because within only a few days they had formed a social hierarchy amongst themselves that was eerily reminiscent of the positions their relatives occupied within the Folly. James Ballantine Jr, whose father - James Ballentine Sr - occupied a senior position within the Folly, quickly established himself as the leader of their year, always ready to order the others around and to punish them whenever they overstepped his mercurial rulings. Most of his close circle were the sons and nephews of other influential or notable practitioners, who seemed utterly convinced that those accomplishments entitled them to special treatment at Casterbrook. Thomas, who had the poor fortune that Stanley Nightingale wasn’t much interested in the Folly, apart from it’s convenient location in London and rather extensive wine cellar, and that his grandfather hadn’t done anything of note since losing his bid for Master of the Folly the previous decade, found himself adrift for the first few weeks.

If he had been given to introspection he might have admitted that he was lonely,friendless as he was, but he'd always had the ability to lock away his troubles in some hidden corner of his mind. His situation quickly changed, however, once they began to learn magic - actual, practical magic and not the excruciatingly boring theory behind all of it that had dominated the first two months or so of lessons.

When their teacher had finished preaching the safety precautions to them one last time and finally demonstrated a werelight for the very first time, asking them all to feel for the formula he was using Thomas did so with ease. It still took him a little over a week until a werelight finally appeared above his outstretched palm, but when it finally did he felt such a clear, exhilarating thrill go through his body, like he had never felt before, that he let out a joyful cheer that made every person in the room turn towards him. He'd been sitting on his own, at the very back of the room, so everyone had a clear view of the warm globe that only existed because Thomas had willed it to be. None of the others, even those who had bragged upon their arrival that they’d been taught the most fundamental magic at home, had managed a werelight so far, and by the time even Walter Cholmondeley, who went on to accomplish great success in the field of theoretical magic but remained a mere amateur in the application of it for the rest of his life, managed a small, rather unstable werelight about three weeks later Thomas's werelight was controlled and evenly lit, and he had figured out how to make it grow and shrink in size.

Unsurprisingly this early success made him rather more popular with the other boys, as well as ingratiate him with the Masters. At night he would light up the dorm with his spell while the others tried to replicate it - so early on in their time at school even the laziest of them - Ballentine - was still eager to master his first spell. Thus Thomas suddenly found himself amongst a large group of boys at mealtimes and quickly fell in with the group that had formed around Ballentine, and it was those boys Thomas spent the majority of his remaining first year at Casterbrook. Busy exploring the grounds with Ballentine and Lazy Arse Dance, and sneaking into the kitchens at night with Horace Greenway, stuffing their pockets with sweets and small cakes to carry back to their dorm, Thomas barely noticed his first term pass by in nothing more than the blink of an eye. He returned home for Christmas full of tales about Casterbrook but no one who wanted to hear them. With his mother too busy most of the time, his father uninterested as always, his siblings mostly older than him and therefore more knowledgeable about school and indeed most things in life, the only one he could talk to was Daisy, his only younger sibling, but at five she was wont to burst into tears every time he mentioned Casterbrook, because she didn’t understand why she couldn’t learn magic as well when she was older. Ultimately Stephen, eleven months older than Thomas, humoured him a week into their time at home and listened to everything Thomas had to tell, and it was very well that he had done so, because if he hadn’t it was more than likely that it all would have burst out of him sooner rather than later.

By the time summer came Thomas had less news to share, but instead more than just two spells that he could show his siblings. He'd joined the school choir and started playing rugby, of which the former delighted his mother to no end and the matter caused his brothers to finally let him play with them in the garden, even though five players was an awkward number. That problem solved itself, at least for a short time, when their Aunt Anthea arrived with her three sons in tow. The oldest, Andrew, was a year younger than Thomas, and since they were desperate for a sixth player he was deemed old enough by Richard and Joseph to participate in their games. Or at least until Andrew set fire to the pagoda and Anthea send him back home to stay with his father until he could be shipped off to school and would become someone else’s problem for most of the year.

He thus started his second form in high spirits, although that was not meant to last for long. At the end of the last term their theory teacher had been forced to resign – Thomas later found out that it was due to a liason with one of the older students they’d been carrying on for a few years, not that he was the only Master guilty of that – and the headmaster, who’d previously only taught lower and upper sixth form, began teaching the lower forms as well. The old warhorse - for that was what the students called him amongst themselves - was famously bad at remembering names and had them sit alphabetically so that he could keep them apart more easily. And that was how he first became involuntarily acquaintanced with David Mellenby.

Mellenby was a good bit shorter than Thomas, with a round face topped by blonde curls that were cut close to his scalp. His eyes shone with intelligence, and whispered of a friendliness Thomas had yet to experience from Mellenby. From the very first day of school Mellenby had made it clear that he had little interest in most, if any, of the other boys. His father was even more important than Ballentine Sr was, and his older brother was to forms above them at Casterbrook, which under normal circumstances would have put him in the perfect position to become the most popular boy in the form, but that first evening, when they had all been trying their best to make a good impression Mellenby had taken an armful of books - none of which they'd needed to read for class - and marched off towards his bed without a word to any of them. He'd drawn the curtains and hadn’t emerged until the next morning. So far his attitude hadn’t changed much, and Thomas felt that Mellenby thought himself superior to all of them. He certainly couldn’t remember ever speaking to him outside of class.

In any case his books seemed to be more important to him than genuine human connection. What was important to him, and anyone forced to spend even five minutes in the same classroom as Mellenby, was academic validation. The year before Thomas had mostly ignored Mellenby as best as he could, not particularly inclined to spend the standoffish boy always sitting in the front row any mind, but now it was impossible not to notice that he raised his hand at every question, no matter which class, even in Latin and Ancient Greek where he seemed to struggle, at least to his standards. It didn’t matter what it was the Masters wanted to know, Mellenby's hand shot up before Thomas could even process the questions and more often than not his hand came dangerously close to striking Thomas in the face. And while Mellenby’s unrelenting efforts to turn theory class into a contact sport certainly made the lessons more interesting and forced him to actually pay more attention than he would have otherwise done, it was also rather annoying.

But naturally it wasn’t enough that Thomas had to suffer Mellenby’s presence in class, but he was forced to spend even more time with him in the afternoons. The old warhorse preferred the essays they had to write on the formae they were learning to be done in pars, so on at least one afternoon each week Mellenby dragged him to the library, where all Thomas could do was stare longingly out of the window and watch the other students unwind after their classes, until at least the first draft of their essay was finished and Mellenby was satisfied with their efforts.

On one of those days, perhaps two or three months into the term, a package had just arrived from his Uncle Stanley, who’d recently been in America. Since Thomas had started at Casterbrook Stanley had begun sending Thomas pulp magazine’s for him to read, and he’d taken a particular liking to Adventure, an American publication, which he could only get his hands on when Stanley, or one of his many friends, travelled to the States. Most of the issues Stanley had sent him were tucked away under his pillow in the dorm, but he had tucked the oldest between the pages of one of his school books, eager to finally read the continuation of one of his favourite stories. Mellenby had stayed behind after physics class to ask their teacher a dozen or so questions and Thomas had trudged towards the library on his own, because he finally wanted to get to his magazine, and because he was sure he wouldn’t have understood what Mellenby was asking about even if he had stayed.

“What are you reading?” A voice – Mellenby – asked suddenly and Thomas flinched. He hadn’t noticed Mellenby approach, and was sure he’d be facing a lecture about not getting a head start on their essay in the very near future.

“Adventure,” Thomas said, a tad defensively, and held up the magazine so Mellenby could see the cover.

“I don’t know what that is,” Mellenby said, and Thomas was sure it had been difficult for him to admit.

“It’s an adventure magazine from America. My uncle buys them for me when he is overseas”

He expected some witty retort from Mellenby about the inferior quality of pulp magazines, but instead he asked, “Are they any good?”

“I think so,” Thomas said, “even better than the British magazines”

Mellenby shrugged. “I wouldn’t know, I’ve never read one”

“Why not?” Thomas asked, somewhat shocked. He’d never heard of anyone his age who hadn’t read at least some pulp magazines. Even his sister Drina had, and she was a frightful bore.

“My father won’t let us buy them. He says they aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on”

“And your mother agrees?” Surely she would have come to her children’s aid.

“My mother is dead,” Mellenby said, his voice betraying no emotion on the matter, “she died when I was born”

“Oh,” Thomas said, “If you want you can read some of mine. I’ve got a few upstairs, and I can bring even more from home after Christmas”

Mellenby seemed surprised. “Honestly? You really mean that?”

“Why would I offer if I didn’t”

Mellenby, it turned out, read a lot, and he did so with alarming speed. By the time Thomas was on a train back to Devon for the holidays Mellenby had read all of the magazine’s Thomas had brought with him for the entire term, and as far as Thomas could tell his schoolwork hadn’t suffered the least because of it, although Thomas thought that his presence had become somewhat more bearable. When it came time to pack for his return to Casterbrook Thomas made sure to bring all the magazines he had at home.

“You should stop answering all the questions,” Thomas told Mellenby one sunny afternoon, “in class.”

He wasn’t sure why Mellenby had been trailing after him like a lost puppy with his pocket watch in hand, but he suspected it had something to do with the small rain cloud that had been following Thomas around for the past few minutes, a punishment for daydreaming in class. Other masters would have beaten him for the same offence, but the headmaster seemed to prefer a more psychological kind of punishment.

“Why?” Mellenby asked, “because the other chaps think I’m a swot?”

There was nothing to do about that now, hadn’t been since their first night of school, when Mellenby had spent the night reading in some textbooks he had borrowed from his older brother instead of socialising with the other boys. Unsurprisingly David had no more than one friend, Walter, equally bookish if not quite as smart. “No,” Thomas said, “because it makes them lazy. If they know you’re going to answer all the questions, why bother learning the answers themselves?”

If the masters were to be believed they were the worst year to go through Casterbrook in more than a generation, and Thomas was inclined to believe them. There weren’t many troubles with the practical use of magic, as it was taught to them, but with the theoretical aspects. Few but Mellenby even bothered opening their books before the lessons, let alone taking notes during them.

“But I know the answers,” Mellenby, typical of him, didn’t seem to understand Thomas’ meaning.

“You know you know the answers, and God knows the masters know you know. Who else matters?” Thomas said, “If you must show off, why not only answer three out of four questions? The uncertainty will drive the others to pull their socks up”

“And you?” asked Mellenby, “Will you pull your socks up?”

Perhaps he did have a point there.

Thomas did not pull his socks up, Not quite yet, at least. No matter how much Mellenby and the Masters might have disapproved, ther were simply more interesting things than the study of theory and some science that diverted his attention, science and magic chiefly among them, There was nothing quitle like the feeling of utter joy and freedom both caused, and Thomas was loath to give up either in favour of endless hours spend in the dreary library. He knew, just like anyone who’d spend even the smallest amount of time with him could suspect, that he was not going to end up as either a scientist or a teacher – not that there were other options as far as Mellenby was concerned. At thirteen he’d mastered a look of utter disapproval that could – albeit it rarely – move Thomas to study.

That changed when old Dudders – the Master who taught chemistry, a subject no one but Mellenby could find any pleasure in – asked him to stay behind after one of the lessons shortly after Easter during his second term, and told him in no uncertain terms that if his work didn’t greatly improve over the last weeks of term he’d bee banned from playing rugby after the hols.

So it was his determination to keep playing, more than anything else that finally motivated him to start learning. He hunted down Mellenby that very afternoon and asked him – begged him even – to help Thomas understand the sciences, a next to impossible feat. It was just his luck that Mellenby liked a challenge and considered nothing in the world to be impossible.

Once Mellenby had begun a project it was difficult to dissuade him from it again, as Thomas quickly discovered. Over the next few weeks he learned more about chemistry, physics and mathematics than he had ever before, certainly more than he could ever need to know, and while he truly understood nothing of it, Mellenby’s explanations were at least enough to get him through the exams without too many problems, and with better results than he had ever thought possible. He barely slept or ate, and as soon as Casterbrook had disappeared behind him for the summer he had forgotten everything Mellenby had hammered into his skill, but he had saved his spot on the rugby team, and that was all that mattered to Thomas.

When the first letter from Mellenby arrived Thomas was more than a little surprised. They’d spend more time together recently, yes, but they’d hardly become friends. Or so Thomas had thought. Mellenby certainly hadn’t behaved as if he had any interest in spending more time with Thomas outside of lessons and the library, but when he invited Thomas to come visit him at his family home in [Oxfordshire] Thomas began to suspect that he simply hadn’t been brave enough to broach the topic. After all Mellenby didn’t seem to have very many friends. The only one at school he truly seemed to get along with well was Cholmondeley, who was nearly as bookish as Mellenby, even if he’d been struggling with magic since the beginning, a problem which Mellenby decidedly lacked.

Thomas tried to ask his mother if he could go, but discovered that she’d retired to her room with a headache, attempted to get his father’s attention, but he was busy as always, and ended up knocking on his sister’s door, who as the eldest daughter of the family might as well have been a second mother.

“I don’t see why not,” she said, angling her body so Thomas could not see inside her room, “but you’ll have to be back in time for grandfather’s birthday, the entire family is coming”

He promised that he would, and bounded off to reply to Mellenby’s letter. Three days later he was on a train bound north.

Six Sentence Sunday

They attempted their prank during chapel that Sunday, and pulled it off beautifully. Thomas could see David stifling his laughter two rows in front of him, while he did his damnedest not to look like he was doing magic.

They did, however, find themselves in the headmaster’s office a day later, side by side, facing another one of his lectures.

When Thomas’s uncle Stanley had been a pupil at Casterbrook the headmaster had already been a master at the school, and with Stanley’s proclivity for breaking the rules he suspected that he wasn’t the first Nightingale in recent memory to be standing in this office after stirring up trouble.

The headmaster, for his part, looked as if he was regretting seating David and Thomas next to each other in his class.

“If I could,” he thundered, “I would have you whipped for this, but unfortunately there is no way to prove that you two were behind this. However, as your teacher, I find myself impressed by the control exhibited by whomever –“ he pointedly glanced at Thomas, whose chest swelled with pride “- is responsible"

My 2022 in Books

This year I read 78 books which is a step down from the last few years (all 100+) but I'm trying to read in a more purposeful, slow way, trying to savor and absorb what I read, which is definitely a challenge since I've always been a very speedy reader.

Had Andrew and his team do a roof clean of our bungalow and replace the soffits and complete new guttering.

From quote to completion they have all been fantastic, clean and tidy, with customer care second to none.

Extremely happy and will record to anyone that needs roof cleaning or guttering.

Many thanks

What a fantastic job! Roof had many years worth of build up of moss. Quote obtained. Prompt arrival to do the work as arranged..Great communication. Moss was professionally removed by Grant and then biocide was applied. Work took two days. All well cleared up at the end of each day. Result is the roof looks like new and is a completely different colour. Highly recommended!

Michael Brett

2023-06-10

Roof moss removal, gutters and fascias cleaned. Our roof was not suitable for steam cleaning so the moss was physically scraped off and a biocide applied. There were interruptions for the weather conditions but the guys worked around these and the job was completed on time leaving the roof, gutters and fascias in a great condition. This was a big job and they worked through it speedily and professionally. As I would have expected, there were a few “snagging” points to return to the following week but there was no argument over this and they returned immediately for half a day to sort out the handful of small issues that we wanted them to attend to.

Our roof had a LOT of moss on it it took 2 full days to scrape the moss off, it was then washed down and now looks great.

How Often Should You Get Your Roof Cleaned In Bournemouth?

Consistent roof cleaning is an essential component of home upkeep, safeguarding both the visual charm and structural soundness of your property. The optimal frequency for roof cleaning is contingent on factors like climate, proximity to trees, and the roofing material employed. As a general guideline, experts advise performing roof cleaning at least once a year to thwart the build-up of debris, mold, and algae.

One primary reason to clean your roof regularly is to extend its lifespan. Over time, leaves, branches, and other debris can accumulate on the roof, creating a breeding ground for moss and algae. These organisms can retain moisture and lead to the deterioration of roofing materials, potentially causing leaks and other structural issues. By removing this debris and preventing the growth of harmful organisms, you can safeguard your roof from long-term damage and costly repairs.

Furthermore, a clean roof enhances the curb appeal of your home. Stains, moss, and algae not only compromise the integrity of your roof but also create an unsightly appearance. Regular cleaning helps maintain the visual appeal of your property, preserving its value and contributing to the overall aesthetic of the neighborhood.

In regions with high humidity, where mold and algae thrive, more frequent roof cleaning may be necessary. Additionally, homes surrounded by trees may require more frequent attention due to the accumulation of leaves and branches.

Overall, the investment in regular roof cleaning pays off in the form of a longer-lasting, visually appealing, and structurally sound roof. By adopting a proactive approach to roof maintenance, homeowners can protect their investment and ensure that their homes remain safe and attractive for years to come.

How Can You Clean My Roof In Bournemouth?

There are several methods for cleaning a roof, each suited to different types of roofing materials and levels of dirt or debris buildup. Here are three common ways to clean a roof:

Pressure Washing: Pressure washing involves using a high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, debris, moss, algae, and other contaminants from the roof surface. It’s important to adjust the pressure to a level that won’t damage the roofing material. Pressure washing can be effective for metal, tile, and asphalt shingle roofs, but it should be done carefully to avoid dislodging shingles or causing water intrusion.

Chemical Cleaning: Chemical cleaning involves applying specialized cleaning solutions or biocides to the roof to break down and remove algae, moss, and other organic growth. These chemicals are typically allowed to sit for a certain period to loosen the contaminants before being rinsed off with water. Chemical cleaning can be suitable for asphalt shingle and tile roofs, but it’s important to use environmentally-friendly products and follow proper application guidelines to prevent damage to the roofing material and surrounding vegetation.

Manual Cleaning: For delicate roofing materials or roofs with a low slope, manual cleaning is a safer option. This method involves physically removing debris, leaves, moss, and algae using gentle tools such as soft brushes, brooms, and plastic scrapers. It’s a more time-consuming method, but it allows for greater control over the cleaning process and minimizes the risk of damaging the roofing material.

Remember that before attempting any roof cleaning method, it’s important to prioritize safety. Working on a roof can be dangerous, especially if you’re not experienced with such tasks. If you’re not comfortable or confident in your ability to clean the roof yourself, it’s a good idea to hire a professional roof cleaning service. They will have the expertise, proper equipment, and safety measures in place to clean your roof effectively without causing damage.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ROOF CLEANING IN BOURNEMOUTH

When it comes to upkeeping your Bournemouth residence, a often overlooked yet vital task is roof cleaning. The environmental elements and coastal climate in Bournemouth elevate routine roof cleaning from a mere aesthetic concern to a practical necessity. This article will delve into the key reasons why giving priority to roof cleaning in Bournemouth is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring the long-term resilience of your roof.

Preserve Curb Appeal: Roof cleaning is crucial for maintaining your home’s visual appeal. Algae, moss, and lichen can accumulate over time, giving your roof a dirty and unattractive appearance. Professional roof cleaning services can remove these unsightly growths, leaving your roof looking clean and well-maintained.

Prevent Damage: The coastal climate in Bournemouth, characterised by high humidity and occasional heavy rainfall, creates the perfect environment for moss and algae growth. These organisms can infiltrate your roofing materials, causing them to deteriorate over time. Roof cleaning helps prevent such damage, saving you from costly repairs or premature roof replacement.

Extend Roof Lifespan: Regular roof cleaning can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof. The accumulation of dirt, debris, and organic growth can weaken roofing materials, making them more susceptible to damage from moisture and UV radiation. By removing these contaminants, you can protect your roof’s structural integrity and ensure it lasts for many years.

Energy Efficiency: A dirty roof can affect the energy efficiency of your home. When algae and moss build up, they trap heat and moisture, which can lead to increased indoor temperatures during the summer and decreased energy efficiency. A clean roof, on the other hand, reflects heat more effectively, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce cooling costs.

Health and Safety: Moss and algae growth on your roof can pose health and safety risks. They can create slippery surfaces, making it hazardous for anyone attempting to access the roof for maintenance. Regular roof cleaning eliminates these safety concerns, making it safer for both you and any maintenance professionals working on your roof.

Compliance with Home Insurance: Some home insurance policies may require you to maintain your roof to specific standards. Neglecting roof cleaning could result in a breach of your insurance agreement, potentially jeopardising coverage in case of damage or leaks. Keeping your roof clean helps you stay compliant with your policy.
