Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Westie, Thanks for the offer but I have daughters in England and if it was possible they would send them over. However, anything bigger than a normal envelope has to have a declaration on it. We sent three Christmas cards in a jiffy bag and they were returned because we had put the correct postage o...

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

I have a problem sourcing seeds now that UK is out of EEC. I always got them from Premier Seeds Direct but now they can't send to EEC. It's a crazy world now. The prices here are prety extortionate.

Re: Scenic images

I hear that oil thieves are using drones to follow tankers and then strike. Yes they ruin the tanks by drilling into them and don't worry about locks being on them.

Stephen, That last post of yours reminds me of what one of the Dubliners (who was renowned for his drinking) said.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs 2022.

A friend of mine, who in the early 1980s worked for the Northwich Salt Mine, used to arrive almost weekly with files of different flavours, for us to taste, which they had developed.
