We are heading into the weekend with a bit of a tale from the history books...

We're from Nottingham - we obviously love Robin Hood 🏹

However, did you know that not only is the STUNNING Wollaton Hall the face of Wayne Manor, home of Batman, in 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises our links to Batman may go further back?

Washington Irving, a US writer from the 19th century, had heard a tale from over the Atlantic of the Mad Men of Gotham. The tale has us believe that when King John travelled the country and passed through Gotham, the villagers would fake madness to deter him from passing through. Madness was perceived to be infectious and so no royalty would want to be in the vicinity of people suffering from the condition. Unbelievably the trick worked📜

The inspiration behind the name was not revealed until 1996 when a character utters a line announcing that the city was named "after a village in England where, according to common belief, all are bereft of their wits". This explains why the city in the novels was called Gotham City – stemming from Washington Irving bringing the story of the Mad Men of Gotham over the Atlantic.

It also explains why we have Batman and Robin – Robin being taken from the stories relating to King John and Robin Hood.

Make sure you take care of yourself today and every day. Mental health is so important, we hope you're all not feeling too blue today.

Cold weather, less daylight & post-Christmas bills can mean many are feeling down and lacking motivation.

So, it’s really important that you take care of your mental and physical health.

To help lift your mood, manage stress & anxiety, try going for a walk, exercise regularly and eat a well-balanced diet. Also try to connect with other people, on the phone or via messages; talking things through can really help.
