Read MoreWe took our boys to York Dungeon a few years back. It was like the lamest, Papier-mâché, Silicon FX Rubbish Ghost Train Ride at the local seaside resort. YawnFest. Apparently…Dickie rode his horse, Black Bess, from London to York (more than 200 miles) overnight. Poor mare :o( York Dungeon A slightly but still TRICKY “history” […]
Read MoreUsual stuff. yt has scrubbed this Lewis episode. But – if you can – watch Lewis Series 6 Episode 1: The Soul of Genius. Apparently Lewis Carroll admitted (much later) that Hunting the snark was a parody of the eternal human pursuit of happiness. The Bellman is an expert on Snarks and tells us that […]
Read MoreThere is hardly a soul in Britain that does not know this song. Or the Tune, if not the words. Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in 2020. What a sad and pathetic vibe. Caused by an unseen Vibe. Anyhoo. Moving along. From Interesting Literature A Short Analysis of William Blake’s […]
Read MoreAs a blithe commenter could not follow up the comment about Britain’s Hidden History via a Welsh man… May I present Alan Wilson. I’ve been watching and reading him and Baram Blackett for decades. I disagree with a LOT of their conclusions but that’s by-the-by. They’ve done more to highlight History than many others. Especially […]
Read MoreIt’s BECAUSE… …of ya’ll and the BS that you’ve thrown at me over the past two years. FACT! It’s made me into a Very Fine & Valuable Compost that can GROW anything. Thank you for helping me to succeed and attain my own little dream x I dedicate this song to y’all. Mwah :o)
Read MoreI was out in the garden at 6.30 am, on a mission to clear the borders at the front of the house. Apart from nettles, my worst enemy is the dreaded sycamore seed. It floats down and grows EVERYWHERE. I knew that behind the tons of sycamore saplings was MY FAVOURITE ROSE EVER! A David […]
Read MoreWe have an alley in town called Tinker’s Alley. It’s a short cut from the main street to the canal. When ever I walk from the canal to Main Street through the alley (which I’ve done many a time) it ALWAYS reminds me of 13 Miller’s Court. So similar. 13? OK Emelia Fox (vid below) […]
Read MoreMy F1RST driving assignment at Depot, Chichester, because anyone who joined the RMP had to be a driver, was from Chi to Chelsea Barracks in the very centre of London. I might’ve been 17 when I passed my driving test but I’d NEVER driven in London before. Or since. Fecking Madness. Chelsea Barracks in the […]
Read MoreOMG : That’s such a Brit word. My Babby. My beautiful son bought me John Lydon’s autobiography a few years back for my birthday. Johnny Rotten’s Foreword : He might be a Foul-Mouthed Irish Punk but he’s been married to his Babby for over 40 years. I knew Nora was ill. But didn’t realise that […]
Read MoreIt’s disturbing how sun stroke can affect the brain! What did I do today to bring Jack the Ripper and the Canonical 5 to mind?

Read MoreOur lovely friend across the road has fixed our ride on lawnmower more times that I can say. He’s a biker. He fixes motorbikes and cars and crazy stuff like that. His lawn had gone a bit mental so we offered him the ride on after he’d been here yesterday with his chain saw to […]
