It would appear you have, Ian.

Pie shop opening on Newtown too, next door to Lollipops. Rumour has it that it's someone who worked at Stanforths in Skipton.

The Barlick is due to re-open soon as a Bistro and B&B. We need a few more B&B's if BTC are encouraging tourism.

Coffee Corner, currently hidden away in Newtown, will be moving to The Railway once the refurbishment work is complete.

My understanding is it's being converted to a private house.

We started out with 2 layers on, down to shirtsleeves before we'd got halfway to Prospect Farm, along Lister Well Lane. Saw Doc...

Two parlours in Barlick now Stanley, there must be mileage somewhere. Perceived fashion and what constitutes "the body beautiful" is a strange thing isn't it? Not my "cup of tea". I am, however, impressed by how well Lee Pickles parlour, on Rainhall Rod, blends in with the other...

Sat in the office in Westhoughton looking at blue sky with the odd bit of cloud. The Birkenstocks are on, the weather must be warm...

I started out with 2 layers, once the sun came out I got a bit warm.

Went for a walk over Weets yesterday. Was in shirtsleeves when the sun came out at lunchtime.

Does anyone have a tip to sweep a really narrow chimney with a difficult bend in it. It used to join another chimney which was off set in the room behind and then go upwards??? Any ideas would be really welcome as it has to be done, we keep putting it off---not a good idea. I swept the top half of ...

I'm with you, Bradders. Ball joint separator.

My attention was attracted by my granddaughter's 1st birthday

She is absolutely gorgeous, but then I am biased.

I got a cheque from a credit card company yesterday. It was a refund of PPI payments made over a 6 year period. They had neglected to mention, in the T's&C's, that pre-existing medical conditions were not covered. All it cost me was 2 stamps, one to the credit card company and one to the financi...

My wife is Chinese so she produces some strange meals for me, a mix of western and Chinese cultures, meals like sweet and sour pork served with mashed potatoes. She is an excellent cook so I don't complain. Yesterday we went to a buffet restaurant and this is what her friend brought back for sweet:...

Lamb shanks, in the pressure cooker, with carrots, onions, garlic, rosemary, half a bottle of merlot and a good "glug" of balsamic vinegar. Served with mashed spuds. Very tasty.

My attention was caught today by my 31st wedding anniversary. I just thought I'd mention it, a lot.

It was Pie Night at the Rolls Royce Leisure Centre last night. Lamb and Rosemary pudding for me and Fillet Steak and Mushroom Pie for my Mrs. Very tasty and a bargain at £5 a head.

Have a great St George's Day everyone.

Bert Weedon the guitarist who wrote "Play in a Day" which tutored many of the rock guitarists of the 60's and 70's has died aged 91. The BBC news website outlined just how important a guitarist he was "He began his career in showbusiness working with Ted Heath, Mantovani and The Squa...

Nice to see something positive on this thread. Happy Birthday, Jack (although you'll have no idea who I am )

I don't need the grief of changing banks at my time of life. Routing cheques through my personal account by post is looking favourite, but it kind of defeats the point of having a business account in the first place....... I was of the impression that banks now provide a free? service to change. If...

Updates are working for me OK, too.
