Aye, but I have no doubt it would probably be a self designed modification, as long as it worked. Spraying for whitefly on the toms.

Necessity the mother of invention and proper for on an allotment.

My dad used to have a couple on his allotment. I seem to remember a spray head fitting for one which he use for treating his tomato plants in the greenhouses.

She loves castles and has done since she was a toddler but this one is Harry Potter castle! . Apparently so did our two granddaughters! When we visited during our bucket and spade holiday up that way, they both wanted to do the broom riding training that was offered. That was until they called out ...

It's not but you have to to find out if they are any good. We have watched all of "This Town", loosely based on the rise of SKA & 2 Tone music around Coventry and Birmingham in the early 80's. We are currently watching series 2 of "Traces" on BBC1.

Don't have medical insurance but Sally is paying for her physio. Same problem, could have been July or August.

More or less our usage Kev, bread, baking and Toad in the Hole.

I doubt if they could do 3 x 6 hour naps. When you think that it is only just over 100 years since the first 12 second flight at Kitty Hawk, it's amazing the speed of innovation. Two World Wars helped in that respect of course.

Airborne.

Lined up engines run up and brakes off.

Holding for one to land and clear the runway.

Taxiing to the runway now. Nearly there and lining up.

Holding on the apron at the moment Stanley.

It's proper with one extra comment despite having 1 hour 20 it could still have done with another 10 minutes. Of course, could be our oven or the shelf setting. It's fully cooked and but could have done with being a bit firmer in the centre. Learning curve for me as I don't normally do big cakes. :e...

What rankles me is the insistence of sticking an R in many perfectly good and already pronounceable words such as MASTER , CASTLE etc. There is no R in either example and many more that gets the treatment. It normally seems to automatically follow an A which in my book is pronounced Ah not Ar. :dont...

Ha, we had that design at primary school, would not pass H&S now as you could fairly easily loose fingers. My modern equivalent has a fully guarded sliding rotary cutter on a guide bar

We binged it earlier Gloria and were in the same boat.

Wiped the memory OK and put the flap in learn mode. Managed to get the cat through from the outside, she wandered out when the door was opened. Flap is now registered to her ID chip and is fully functional. When unlocked on the manual rotor for the flap it is always in a free "out" mode, t...

Well, what do you do on a rainy Sunday afternoon? You have a first go at baking a boiled fruit cake! When we visit our good friends Linda and Neil MacSween for a brew and a natter, Linda often treats us to what I would say is one of the best fruit cakes I have ever tasted! Linda's family is from the...

Lord Doug Hoyle aged 98.

Here he is on the way to the Clarion with his son Lindsay a long time ago.



RIP Doug.

It's time to teach Minnie how to use the cat flap in the front door. She is always first there if the opportunity to explore the front garden presents itself! She is still quite timid with strangers and noises in the back street when she is out in the yard. Consequently she will need to learn the ca...

Tacklers Knife?

Beating the Bounds is an established walk with marker stones around the parish. The Greyhound did a slightly modified variant for their fund raiser. The Benidorm Rally is an annual organised charity event and has lots of entrants from all around the country. It's not a race but promoted as an advent...

Enjoy

Is it some kind of vessel for holding aromatic oils or air freshener type liquid?

One of our friends and regular supporters, Ellie rocked up yesterday with the proceeds from a Beating the Bounds walk that she organised with friends from the Greyhound pub who provided food and refreshments after the event. The walk, roughly based on the jaunt round the town boundaries raised a mag...
