Notities over David Mirski

From memoirs written by David Blain, son of Joseph Benedict Blain:

David Irvine, a man of enormous energy, began practising Dentistry in Oswestry. His stature was small and lithe and he had a pockmarked face. His practice grew and grew until he became well off. He
bought properties in the area, but was not satisfied with his achievements. With his excess energy he took up ballroom dancing, achieving many medals. He bought the local "Plaza" cinema and turned it into a ballroom. His energy overflowed and he strove to fulfil his senses. He collected oriental antiques, studied art, music and still could not satisfy his desires. Realising that his looks were not what a women might instantly go for he developed a technique for the encapture of the opposite sex. At last he found a way of satisfying his excess energy. He collected for himself several concubines. These he apprenticed as dentists thus helping his practice to grow. One of these was a pretty blonde who worked behind a bar. She was softly spoken and had a gentle disposition. She was always known as "Miss Pu
gh"
"Dodal" as the family knew him had a dream. He loved the Welsh Mountains and wanted to build a house with views of them from every window. He bought some acres of land near St Martins Crossroads on
the A5 not far from Chirk Castle. He had erected a temporary treehouse where he spent many hours contemplating the house he was going to build.
The finished article was in a typical 20's/30's style concrete square house with bedrooms linked by a mutual balcony and windows that had the most glorious views of the Welsh Mountains. On the third f
loor was a ballroom. In the garden was a swimming pool made from among other things bamboo.
1939 saw the start of the Second World War and a few years' later German prisoners of war began to arrive in Shropshire. Some of these were put to work on the land. David Irvine took one of these to
work on his land. His name was Ernst and his peacetime occupation had been painter/decorator. David put this skill to work and had Ernst decorate the ballroom in Oswestry and the house that was now known by the family as "Isadon's Folly". The similarity was obvious, straight lines filled with stippling done by a sponge in brown, dull reds and mustards.
Ernst decided to stay in England after the war and later married one of David's ladies named Nora. David built them a bungalow in the grounds of Isadon. They produced a baby girl to which David beca
me very attached in fact developed a maternal instinct. At his death he left everything to the little girl.
