News just in that Frank Field has died aged 81.
A good man has passed. We need men and women like him badly.

Thanks for that Wendy.....

You're right about the temperature Sue, it's not summer yet! I am sick of hearing of near 20C in the South and even Scotland! I hope you get on better today than you think. https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28663/medium The first thing I did was make slugs of steel that fitte...

The last day of winding at Bancroft in 1979. The lady on the left is Betty ? and on the right, Judy Northage.
The end of an era...... We should not allow it to be forgotten.

Bumped again. Still vital information on nutrition.
Go out and find 'The Vitamin Murders: Who Killed Healthy Eating in Britain?' by James Fergusson (2007). A good overview of the subject.

Same again today. I thank god I don't get cravings beyond good meat and veggies!

They sound interesting. I am still on my AC12 binge!

Yesterday we had odd spatters of rain in the afternoon but by 20:00 it had settled down into dry overcast for the night. First thing this morning it was calm and clear with scattered cloud and full moon. It hasn't changed since. The glass is back a bit on 1018mb and falling. The forecast is for a su...

I shall be in the shed as usual carrying on with making 3 crankshafts for Stuart No. 9 Engines. Not sure after that but it looks like a dry and relatively pleasant day out there from the forecast so I think a walk could be on the cards.

They're too clever for that Ian. To do so would be to admit liability and possibly lay themselves open to legal proceedings on the grounds they were responsible. That would never do!!

Sorry Cathy I can't remember. But if you go to his evidence in the Lancashire Textile Project the first questions were about his ancestry so if there is anything you'll find it there....

It's a good story and a sad one David. One of the big mistakes of my life. That young bobby had no conception of responsibility.
By the way, as far as I am concerned that isn't copyright, anyone can reproduce it if they so desire....

Just like yesterday (It was remarked on by David as well.) the site has slowed down to unusable levels with the bouncing black dot in the tab label and now a 502 'bad gateway' error. This happened at 03:19. I foresee a miserable rest of the morning!
Later at 04:28. It appears to have healed up......

And it is immoral because it gives the responsibility of deciding the migrant's case to the Rwandans..... HERE'S another example of lack of principle on the part of the government. One of the prime minister's dementia champions has quit in protest over the treatment of disabled people. Johnny Timpso...

I remember when John Northage had stone-painted my mother's house in King Street he said to me "You'll see. It'll spread like a rash!" He was right.....

"It also supports my latest hobby horse that there are too many people supervising work / activities, and too few actually doing stuff. "
Exactly what my old mate Newton Pickles said over 30 years ago. He was right then and you are now. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.....

I'm back up and having a hot drink. I think the next move will be a short walk.

His name is Jim Pollard Gloria and that was his everyday working dress.

Morning Sue! I agree with you, no sign of summer yet apart from the new growth on the trees. It's warmer in Scotland than it is with us.... Still, we won't get their midges!
Have a nice day and keep the faith, it will eventually improve!

Morning Cathy! And I was only thinking yesterday how nice it is to see the fresh new shoots on our trees..... Just coming into leaf ready for the summer.

WHAT’S THE BEEF 01 It’s always nice to find that you are in front of the curve. 15 years ago I wrote an article on mixed farming for ‘The Food Magazine’ and it was very well received. In case you hadn’t noticed, mixed farming has risen from the grave and is now a hot topic in farming circles. The gr...
