Thursday and Saturday are our “Famous” Market Town market days. No markets. Ergo – no fresh fruit and veg. Drowning my sorrows with […]
And, yes, I’m lined. That ALWAYS cracks me up :o) Taking a break from researching the next GB monograph. So – to stop the incoming migraine – I’ve been re -watching Russ Abbot. Shooting Bananas. I NEED this on a DVD box-set RIGHT NOW. In the meantime, I’ve just got clips on yt!
