The cable coat is just about finished. Woohoo. Yes. Well, spotted. It’s a different colour. I was half way through the first one when I realised that I didn’t have enough wool to finish so – I started again. And I’m kind of thrilled. I thought it would take until November to knit one coat, […]
Embarrassed! I do what most people around here do. Being a rural community, we do our work, pop into town to get provisions, go back to work.

One of the very first posts that I made on this website was – GB 31st July 2018 : Did You Know? Did I know (?!) that all this time later, this would prove prophetic ? I’ve just rewritten Scota’s journey from Egypt. Sail up the Nile into the Med. Turn west. Bob about the […]
There is a CLASSIC line in this episode of Only FOOLS. Only Fools and Horses…. :: Heroes and Villains (1996) 00:38:01 That’s it, is it? That’s what you think of Del Boy? Shallow as a worm’s grave. Where did these WORMS suddenly come from? ? ? NahNahNahNah NahNahNahNah FLATMAN?
