Some music for my friends and family in tents…. All together now…. Summertime, And the livin’ is easy Fish are jumpin’ And the cotton is high Your daddy’s rich And your mamma’s good lookin’ So hush little baby Don’t you cry One of these mornings You’re going to rise up singing Then you’ll spread your […]
It’s raining
I think Jax is really rather glad not to be sitting in a tent looking out on this. Instead she has a fairly gentle day’s packing and a plan for a nice, dry, night’s kip and an early departure for the Holy County tomorrow. Update. The BBC seems to have given up on webcams. This […]
Say Hi
There is still dissent about what the new addition to our family should be called. Some say Mist, I say Furball. I think Furball is an excellent name and very descriptive.
Shortlist for Top Country Market Town
Found this interesting list of the best market towns. I love market towns, and although I don’t think I would necessarily have made any of the same choices in the only region I know well (the East) this looks like a pretty good list. I wish we lived somewhere which had the characteristics of some […]

An hour and a half going up and down four flights of stairs with bags and boxes. A leisurely trip north up on the M11, stopping for pizza near […]

Montessori Walk The Party Some pics from Small’s 4th birthday party today. We all had a lovely day – it was a super setting for the party, the (Montessori) school is simply a nice place to be, on the banks of the River Calder, with a pub next door. Who could ask for more?
Sarah Jane
I am glad to hear that the rumours of Doctor Who’s death have been exaggerated. Also, I must admit I am looking forward to more of the Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood is ok, but I really wouldn’t miss it much. Anyway, Sarah Jane. Production on the full series began in April 2007 and apparently, episodes […]
Noooo!!!!
HIT show Doctor Who will be EXTERMINATED next year after the fourth series. Sniffle. Edit, 2024: Didn’t happened, sadly, instead, the writers killed its soul.
