I never mentioned it but the reason why they hid their faces was because they claimed to be 'spooks' and as such had to remain anonymous.....

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28796/medium I saw this strange marriage of an Austin Oxford car and a Leyland Comet wagon on Water Street in Earby in 1978. Later it lived in the yard of an outbarn at Marton Hall Farm. I can only assume that it was street legal and had pas...

THE FALL OF THE BRACEWELL EMPIRE. (1) Billycock’s wife, Ellen Metcalfe died aged 45 on the 22nd of April 1860 at Horton House. We don’t know the circumstances but having nine children in eighteen years could have had some bearing on this. We are constantly reminded of the hard life women had in an a...

Thanks for that Peter..... That bears out what I believe from my reading and personal experience. Once again, read Queen of fats.... When I first found the book I gave a copy to my GP at the time and he told me later that much of what Ms Allport was describing was new to him. Something I have pointe...

Leg of lamb is always good! As for the sunset..... we aren't having them at the moment! Too much bloody cloud.
I had my usual three hot meals of meat and veggies.

David, it doesn't take much to beat current terrestrial TV offerings. My reaction is to spend more time on reviewing old series and YouTube, yours is the Councils.... Chacun a son gout..... Today I shall be in the shed for an hour as usual quietly refining my castings. I suspect this morning it will...

Yesterday afternoon it was cool enough to trigger the heating again (It's on again this morning....) It was dry but overcast and was still like that at 20:00. This morning first thing it was cool, overcast and dry with evidence of a shower during the night. It is still the same. The Glass has jumped...

This is too easy, I have started looking for a successor already!

Peter, they have to get as many sensible people neutralised as soon as possible! See THIS for what many believe is the reason Sunak called the election early. He doesn't believe the Rwanda scheme will work and doesn't want any humiliating climb downs during the campaign. Apart from that it's the usu...

My arm's still a bit sore but beyond that, all seems to be fine.
Your weather certainly looks better than ours, the CH has been on! Today we are promised 11C.
I see the cruise is adults only...... How did you qualify?

You'll have to David..... Don't worry, it will soon pass.....

What is it?

My chiropodist Robin has been and spent an hour on my feet. My one piece of luxury but actually of course it's essential. If your feet aren't good, none of the rest of you can be right.

I have haunted the river every night lately, where I could get a look at the bridge by moonlight. It is indeed a structure of perfection and beauty unsurpassable, and I never tire of it.  Walt Whitman, 1879.       In 1850s Hannibal, young Sam Clemens dreamed of escape (and fame and fortune) as a ste...

Well done for getting to Christies on time despite the weather and the traffic. Pity you weren't driving the vaccination bus on Monday./... :biggrin2: Not sure if we are having a better day or an amber warning spell of weather like you. I shall go to bed and see what it's like after I have had a sle...

The Bracewell Brothers of Coates. William (b1756) of Coates is mentioned in 1808 as ‘calico manufacturer’ of Barnoldswick so I think we are safe in assuming he built the water twist mill at Old Coates. His son William (b.1782) seems to have gone to Barrowford to live in his wife’s community on his m...

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28792/medium More work on the bed casting. Today, mainly on the milling machine. I touched up the everyday cutter but also used a much longer cutter for the face of the target end. I am ready now to mill out the beds for the crankshaft beari...

I still have my doubts about this. So I have bumped this article again.

meat and veggies X three.....
Kev's mention of the Beach House threw me for a minute. I suppose the Aurora is a floating town actually.......
