THE RISE OF BILLYCOCK BRACEWELL. (9) I want to leave Christopher(1818) for the time being and step sideways to have a look at what his elder brother William(1813) was doing. In case you haven’t realised it, this is the famous ‘Billycock’ Bracewell of Barnoldswick. I say ‘famous’ because it’s impossi...

Bumped again. Essential history!

Taking it easy after the jab seems to have worked. Arm sore and I feel a bit achy but nothing more than that.

Something has changed at British Gas. I have had an email asking for meter readings for my end of month account. The first time that has happened. A welcome improvement!

Did you see THIS report yesterday? A woman in her 50s has died after she was attacked by her two registered XL bullies at a house in east London. The woman was treated by paramedics at the home in Cornwall Close, Hornchurch, but died at the scene on Monday afternoon. The two dogs were seized by arme...

It was a cooler day yesterday and heavily overcast. Late in the afternoon it brightened a little and eventually some sun broke through under the overcast at 20:00 but not much! First thing this morning it started to rain and it hasn't stopped since. The glass is down on 1005mb and the forecast promi...

It covered the whole of the ground floor of the two storey section and held cloth waiting for dispatch at the far end. Boxes and skeps that twist had been delivered in and the two tackler's cabins....

I didn't go anywhere, had a very easy day. I think it has paid off.

He's been bar crawling in Kiel Gloria.....
I shall be in the shed at 06:00 and will be hand filing my flywheel to get it ready for painting. Than I can move on to the bed.
That's going to be it for the day as we are promised wall to wall rain.

I shall do a pic later today. Haven't touched it and it's a mess. All the grasses have survived, we shall see later how many flowers.

They did when David did the pic! Bank Hall was to be demolished and cleared away.

You're getting far too good at these! Yes, Tom it is.
Is that you on Butts stack on Forgotten Corners?
Please find the next object!

And its founder, Clara Barton. In my case, it was a great gift, like St. Paul, I "was born free", and saved the pain of reaching it through years of struggle and doubt.  Clara Barton, 1905, in a letter explaining her belief in universal salvation.   May 21, 1881, was the birth-day of the A...

Do you go through the Kiel Canal Kev?

I don't feel too bad Gloria, but I am taking it easy just in case! A load of washing and frying my sweet potato chips will make me feel active!

I hope the dental check-up doesn't require any action or uncomfortable treatment. I have never lost my fear of dentists and am so glad I have managed to get this far without needing them!
I hope you have a good day....

I finished the initial turning of the flywheel and finished up with it being a perfect match to the crankshaft. Then I had a good clean up of the lathe and the bench and I am ready to do the hand fettling ...

Bumped, still a valid point of view I think!

The chaos that was the workbench in the tackler's cabin at Bancroft Shed. Yet out of this the tacklers tuned the century old looms that produced some of the best cloth in the world.

Yesterday was a re-run of the day before. Once more, there was definitely a chill if you couldn't shelter from the wind. Later in the afternoon the cloud returned and at 20:00 it was overcast. During the night it cleared and first thing this morning it was calm and clear but since then it has cloude...

Three hot meals as usual but in addition I had a salad butty as I sat waiting for the vaccinations to come from Nelson.
