It houses the urns containing the ashes of the Dashwood family. In 1774, one of the members of the Hell Fire Club, Paul Whitehead, left Sir Francis Dashwood his heart. After his funeral, which included cannons being shot out the side of the mausoleum, his heart was placed in an urn in the Mausoleum. The heart used to be passed around by visiting tour groups until an Australian soldier stole it in 1829. It has been missing ever since. The ghost of Paul Whitehead has been seen in many spots in the village, including the caves where the original empty urn is now kept. Click here to learn more about the Hellfire Club and its history.

- Film Recommendation - Sound Of Metal
Sound Of Metal Review Sound of Metal is a drama film directed and co-written by Darius Marder. It follows the story of a drummer named Ruben, portrayed by Riz Ahmed, who loses his sense of hearing and his struggle to come to terms with his new life. Sound of Metal premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th and was received with critical acclaim. The film opens with Ruben performing on stage with his girlfriend Lou. It then goes on to show their close relationship as they travel in a campervan while they're on tour. But soon, their plans for the future unravel when Ruben starts experiencing sudden hearing loss. After visiting a doctor, Ruben is told he has lost most of his hearing and that the rest will deteriorate rapidly. Struggling with his diagnosis and a history of addiction, Ruben is recommended a shelter for deaf recovering addicts. The film then follows his journey as he joins a deaf community and learns sign language. But when he seems to have found his place in his new life, the opportunity to have a cochlear implant challenges his acceptance of his illness. I think the theme of self-acceptance is something anyone with a chronic health condition will relate to. Throughout the film you see Ruben fight to hold on to what he knows, reluctant to accept this big change in his life. The film demonstrates the high cost of denial, but also the importance of community and finding value in yourself, despite things not going as expected. The use of sound to represent Ruben's experiences really helped to show the impact of his condition and will draw audiences into the film. Sound of Metal was nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, and won for Best Sound and Best Film Editing at the Academy Awards. Overall, I would highly recommend checking out Sound of Metal.

- Travelling with POTS or Dysautonomia: Tips and Tricks
After being diagnosed with post-covid dysautonomia in 2021, the thought of travelling again seemed near impossible, but over the past few years I have learned that this is not the case. In this post, I will share some useful tips and tricks that will make your trips more manageable. What is POTS? Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that falls under the umbrella of dysautonomia—a group of disorders related to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system . The term “autonomic” refers to the self-governing nature of this system, which controls involuntary functions that we do not consciously regulate. These include breathing, digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, sweating, and more. Travelling with POTS or Dysautonomia Preparation Before your trip there will be a few things to check off your list. Medication : It's important to make sure you have plenty of medication to last the trip. This could also include items like compression stockings that will aid you while you are out and about. Food : Bringing a few meals with you can save a trip to the shops while you are away, leaving you with more energy for the fun stuff. This can also come in handy if you feel worn-out during your trip. Hydration : In the days before your trip, increasing your hydration will make sure your body is in the best possible condition before you start your journey. Research, Find what's right for you Whether it's a day trip or week away, it's best to know a bit about where you are going. The first thing to consider is your accommodation; are you looking for a hotel, Airbnb or camp site? Things you should look out for include: The parking availability The number of stairs/the availability of ground level accommodation Air conditioning, if you are going away in the summer Distance from local attractions Pace yourself When you are away, taking things slowly can pay off in the long run. Whether it's making sure to stop and rest while walking or planning rest days during your trip, this can stop burnout and save you from straining yourself during your holiday. Be flexible Have plenty of options that account for your health. Having a plan for good and bad health days can be very reassuring; it's great to plan bigger days out where you will be more active, while also having a backup plan in case of down days. Continue your regular self-care While you are away, it's best to not forget your regular self-care routines. Making sure you drink before getting up in the morning, and maintain hydration during the day is even more important than normal, as you will likely be more active during your trip. Getting enough sleep is also important for people suffering with POTS; continuing your sleep routine will help your body stay in rhythm and well rested. Also, continuing meditation and breathing exercises is a great way to calm your nervous system after busy days out. Useful items to take with you Some items I would recommend are: Hydration tablets: these will help you maintain your blood pressure throughout the day. Camping stool: These are great if you are going somewhere that may not have many places to rest. Small bag: using a smaller bag can save on weight, making walking easier. These can carry extra medication in case you have a flair-up, as well as a small packed lunch. Water bottles. I usually bring a large bottle to keep in the car and a smaller one for when I'm out and about. Handheld fans: These can also be a great option to keep yourself cool during the summer, as heat can be a trigger for people with POTS.
