Today I change gear in the shed and shift back into the relatively large Number 9 engine after those dratted wobblers. I'm glad I made them and Evie and Alex will be be pleased to get them. (Well Evie's parents Holly and Tim will anyway!) Then, after second sleep there is a pop-up vaccination clinic...

Yesterday some cloud returned in the afternoon but it soon burned off and by 20:00 we had full sun to end the day. This morning it's calm, dry and overcast. The glass has risen slightly to 1015mb and the forecast is for a dry but overcast day with sun late in the afternoon perhaps. The NE wind is mo...

Though she might startle at the question ‘what is the price of pigs? she knows what the price should be?’ I am iron now—and my life is altered into one of action, not of sentiment—Ambition is not my idol, but my plaything.   Lady Charlotte Guest, Journal (entry for April 12, 1836).     Though writte...

Bumped again. I have no current knowledge but human nature being what it ism you can bet that someone somewhere is bending the rules to make money and they won't be too worried about the effects on those who eat it unless it starts to cost them money.....

I cooked the mince and it gave an extra kick to my daily three hot meals!

There is no politics news this morning but have a look at THIS and ask yourself how much influence drink has on the way we are governed.

CHRISTOPHER BRACEWELL AND HIS FAMILIES. (6) William Bracewell(1756) must have been feeling a bit poorly in 1819 because he brought in his solicitor and made a will. I must say here that from here on in the Bracewell story I am heavily indebted to a lady called Ann Battersby, a descendant of the Brac...
