Hi Stanley, the blur bottom right is Honey the cocker spaniel. Tragically, we lost Sam-u-el the span-u-el around this time last year to liver failure on the day of the Beast from the East. We made the decision for him and let Honey see and sniff him which was again, a good decision. However, it is g...

Thank you. He has since eaten the mouse mat next to me.

Finally, I think I have managed a photo onto the site! The new love of my life who is licking the back of my neck as I type!

Absolutely and unconditionally!

This is an update on Buster, our 1 year old Munsterlander. What a year it has been! He arrived with a slightly gippy tummy for which all the litter had been prescribed antibiotics and because we had travelled 200 miles or more, we took him home. Firstly he has never been ill, but the tummy persisted...

Hi Wendy, Buster is doing fine - now. I'll post something in the pets section.

A quick check yesterday revealed a goodly amount of frogspawn but this morning was something wondrous, a bubbling cauldron of croaking. I counted the number of heads accurately and found that there were at least loads, if not shed loads of frogs heads above water - that is until Buster the Munsterla...

Friday morning 22 Feb for our first frog on frog sightings, however we have had a lot of tree felling activity next to the pond which may have disturbed their routine. Massive old cherry tree will be sadly missed but had started to drop branches and was rotten at the core.

The Bleak Midwinter. A John Grey novel by L. C. Tyler. If you haven't read these historical murder mystery novels before, just try one. John Grey is the chief protagonist and has a special air of self importance. Fun reading between heavier tomes.

We took newly made friends to see Jeremy Hardy, I guess we should have checked their politics beforehand. Jeremy was funny, as were their faces! Ah well, don't take anything for granted.

How did you get Botulism Stanley, purely a professional interest! Actually, I know how you got Botulism, more to the point what did you eat that gave you Botulism and how long ago was that?

Happy to report that having grumbled about the heating, ignoring it for 20 minutes then trying again, the heating restarted.

I can say "Merry Christmas everyone", now that I have power again. We woke up to a power cut in the village, now the heating won't restart!

The news is encouraging Stanley. What a Christmas present.

Thanks, I shall use the link tomorrow. Funeral to go to today. Sister-in-law.

I shall have to listen to that programme as I was part of the danish bacon industry for 20 odd years. Danepak started off in Selby and moved to Thetford, being one of Thetford's major employers as well as Thermos, Jeyes and Travenol, later Baxters.

Just looking back to the recycling of stone, one of the last times I was in Nelson, my dad told me that he was responsible for the re-use of stone when he worked at the Town Hall. He remembered where the stone came from but much to my chagrin, I can't remember that, and we were looking at where the ...

Those with a nervous disposition look away now! Buster's bowels have been the cause of consternation in this household. I may have mentioned earlier that he can fart for Britain, well the poo went from mousse to splat and I became convinced that although Sam lived for almost 14 years on a particular...

Sarsaparilla from Nelson. Cafe in the centre within another market type building.

Sorry I'm late answering Stanley, I don't recall her sharing! Mind you, her garden was a world apart from the others, her pride and joy.

Horrified to learn of this incident! My best wishes to both you and Jack. You really can't let your guard down can you! Good luck on your first walk together, your confidence will run straight down the lead to Jack. Our best wishes, Julie, Honey and Buster the Munsterlander.

You've just sent me back to Bath Street, Nelson. Picking up the horse muck for grandma's garden.

I too use the dogs as a pre-wash on heavily soiled items, especially the carving board and similar. Mind-you, they get a good clean afterwards.

It was certainly key in my family, from Brierfield.
