Has anyone experienced the same problem I seem to be having ? Each January we spend with our Grandkids in Greece and then bring them over here for February. Each year we have a couple of midweek breaks at a Center Parcs. For the last two years almost a soon as I get to the Parc I start to get a...

I posted a while back about a turned wood bowl I'd acquired specifically for making bread. After a hectic month I finally got around to trying it out. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of mixing the ingredients. Mixed,formed ready for proving. Mixing the ingredients with a wooden bowl was a...

I was having a think to night about passing on some items one of which was my Norwegian Telemark pack. I photographed it. I even wrote the listing but in the end I couldn't bring myself to hit the create button. It's a great pack, really comfy and as much as I love my new Snugpack stamina, (...

Popped into a furniture store today to order a reclining chair for my mother in law. It's one of those old independent family run affairs which has been going since the war. It's a bit of a tatty store and a right old jumble. Anyway after we had done the business on the chair I spotted this...

Not sure if this is the place. When I got home tonight my dad was telling me about a strange bird he'd seen in the garden. As usual I went on the Wicken Fen website to see if they'd had any new sightings but nothing fitted the bill. However, I saw this advert for a job...

Here's my campfire for the evening. A small bar in Poros, Kefalonia. Damm cold outside and wet. I hope your evening campfire is a cosy as this one.

Swmbo has set me a task. Somewhere to go for New Year's Eve near a sandy beach, a harbour, and fireworks on New Year's Eve over the beach or harbour. Anywhere in UK considered. I know you guys are spread far and wide. Any ideas?? I've found St Ives ,looks good but are there any others? Sent...
