    Being a lad from the mines I always wondered what it would be like to make good and become a Lord of the land... Not long ago, we remembered one hundred years since the start of the great war. This story was originally born at that time as I started thinking about my background. My family were all miners and during the war the mines were owned by the gentry, the Dukes and such... It got me thinking, what if during the war the workers(Miners) met the ruling classes? What if one of them was evacuated in the war to live with a miner and his family... Such fun!
