At last! Second hand, but only two years old, one of those pull over motor bike garages. I've no idea what they are realy called, but it was only £50, and they are several hundred new.
So, even tho the monster susuki is gone, I now have decent winter cover for the little 750 virago.

Not for me, but thank you. I’m the same at car boot sales and have recently got rid of tons of accumulated stuff I’ll never get round to using.
A firemaple x3 jetboil type stove. Ordered this morning and just delivered from amazon. New vehicle stove and it works fine so far with the larger c500 gas cannisters
This dagger by Tod Cutler.
When one can not carry a weapon one can at least carry a (almost) foot long dagger. (Joking of course). We are not allowed to carry a dagger around town.

I read on our customs office homepage that swords and daggers are allowed to buy (and own) to Finland.

Had a couple of these made up and received them yesterday. Well chuffed.
Yarp. Mesh side pockets for my Sabre 75 but would fit the 45, 60-100, 80-130, Predator 45 and the PLCE bergen etc
I like the looks of those, where did you get them from if you don't mind my asking? Fancy a set for my Sabre 45.

Be very careful @Herman30
To assemble scone, jam and clotted cream is to make a tribal declaration.
Do you put the jam on the cream or the cream on the jam!!!!
There is some nonsense about the county of origin but that wasn’t in evidence when I first experienced a cream tea.
In my opinion the clotted cream was originally used in the same way that we use butter in a sandwich and the jam goes on top but what do I know, I’m a flatlander from the Midlands.
The scone arrived with the railways and mass tourism as a new batch could be made much quicker than the original bread bun - Thus spake Ruth Goodman.

My folks used to make it from the "top of the milk" - Gold top Channel Island milk, so super creamy - in a shallow casserole dish. Unfortunately I was too young to have grasped the details, my mum is gone, and my dad's memory is not what it was. But yes, it's a lot easier than you might imagine. Mainly a case of time to allow the milk to settle. Usually the stumbling block has been being able to obtain milk creamy enough, but that may be easier again these days perhaps. Dunno. I'm not that keen on it, to be honest.
As for scones, only the unenlightened would choose them given a choice. It's just convenience for the commercial market that scones have become a thing. In Cornwall, the "split", a small bread-like roll, used to be the solution. The beauty of them being that they're not nearly as rich as scones, so you can eat that much more cream. But best not ask for either for breakfast unless you desire to be viewed as a candidate for "daftest emmet I met today" amongst the catering and waiting staff.
(Regarding the jam/cream "controversy", it's easy to remember: The Devonians feel the need to hide their cream under the jam. I'm not saying it's inferior, but you may draw your own conclusions...
)Meanwhile, today I bought a freshly caught local mackerel from our mobile fishmonger and had it for lunch. It was *chef's kiss*
Depends on which one, cream or jam is the most solid and forms the best base. I think either is fine because who cares what they think down in the West Country anyway.
