I remember 1962-63 just about. 1979 was a cold winter, but I was glad to be back in the UK then. My second son was born on February 15th, which was a bitterly cold day, but until two months before we had been living in the Dutch countryside. If we had still been there I think the farmer would ha...

All this talk of food is making me very hungry - It seems that my supporting the missus in her diet has inevitably led to me being on a kind of diet :? Weird day - grinding noise from the front brakes turned out to be some form of cr@p stuck in the drivers side brakes - easy job - strip them clea...

Following Algi's comments on recipe variations reminds me of a few years back attending an informal Christmas party at a rather smart hotel in Lichfield. The buffet was aadvertised as a Ploughmans Lunch - so far so good, until on of our group asked the waiter (an elegant chap in a tailed evening su...

Just got back from babysitting duties. We had the two tikes here this afternoon, which made watching the rugby difficult, but not impossible. The older one described it as a mix of foot-and handball, and was trying to work out what was going on. At least he automatically supported the right team...

I think it’s the dry cold, against the damp I for one am convinced of this. I spent a while in Norway where the temp was never above -20C. Dressed properly I never felt the cold during my stay. The worst was arriving back at Manchester Airport well above freezing (Incidentally still wearing the war...

I think altitude has a lot to answer for. Just back from Wrekenton (hospital check up for Margaret's knee, very happy with the range of movement she has achieved and with the way the wound is healing. No more visits for 5 months) which is on top of the hill, bitter cold. Low lying Chester-le-Street,...

If you don't want to wear yourself out the first day do a tour on one of the special buses (if they are running this time of year?) it goes around all the places of interest mentioned by David then you can pick out the "must go back and shoot" at your leisure. There is a bus stop very near Jessops i...

I did some surface coating trials (not paint) back in the late 60s. This involved for one test being sprayed with high pressure, warm brine. Needless to say not many coatings survived this one, indeed our biggest problem was finding pump materials that would survive the duration. Uncoated bronze ...

Half term this week so went with the grandkids to the zoo. Not a single usable photo. Not one. I don't expect a high hit rate on trips like that but not a single one :shock:.
