Swag

Great picture and a worthy winner from a strong field.

Very encouraging to see such a ringing endorsement of a firm in this day and age. Gives one a pleasant vibe that old values still hold.

That deserves a far less mundane title than "french toast" . Pain grille facon vanille avec fruits de foret varies miele et creme more likely. Wish I hadn't opened this at lunchtime, makes my cheese on toast and an apple look very boring.

I've been retired so long I've forgotten what I used to do for work. But the teachers pension agency gives me a little bit of money every month.

This thread has reminded me of the way tea was made on the building site when I was a student. Take one fairly clean galvanised iron bucket, fill with water and place on fire of wood offcuts in oil drum. Add one whole packet of loose tea and can of condensed milk, stir once and bring to boil...

Great stuff. Reminds me of the time I got pinned down by Easter snow in the Peak District for three days with my two boys. Over 50 years ago now but we still fondly remember it.

Mark Eveleigh "Vagabond" . An account of a walk from Gibraltar to Spain's most northerly point mostly stealth camping in a hammock. Extremely well written by a professional travel writer. Highly recommended. I would expect this to appeal to many people here.
