I'm reading through the Christmas stories (fir the 3rd time A Child is Born both moves me to tears, makes me laugh out loud and then question my understanding [such as it is] of what history I know.
While doing that, I had a hankering for a reread of St. Mary's 0.5, and just read the Promise made to Dr Barstow by the muse of history g it's all I've ever wanted out of life, I've only ever found some of it (and treasured what I've found) - so here it is:
‘You will surround yourself with bright and brilliant people. The building will echo to the sound of ideas, discussions, and the occasional small explosion. There will be triumph and disaster in equal measure. There will be outstanding bravery and heart-stopping betrayal. There will be love and loss. There will be devotion to duty and to each other. There will be treachery and defeat. There will be tragedy and death. You will lead and inspire and protect. And once they walk through these doors, no one in this unit will ever be alone again.’
Christmas Day in 1066 was a Monday not a Friday so as the ending states: Nothing Did Go Wrong. It was all orchestrated (pun intended) by the muse (base of music) of History.
Don't eat the yellow snow -- always a good reminder when push comes to shove.

A charming story. Heart-warming. It goes to show how tweaking the rules can often lead to great results.
I loved the history lesson at the end of this story . showing that one small event can lead to something big and important.
"Sometimes, it's just about the little people. "
Wonderful story. I love that history knows St. Mary's will do the right thing even when they're not supposed to !

Loved re-visiting this story. I hadn't re-read it in a while, and it's such a lovely one.
