The Woollen Mills of Your Mind

"Good morning miss," said the shopkeeper with a warm friendly smile as the young dark haired girl entered the shop. "Morning Bob," said the girl. "How are we today?" "Well I'm ok," answered Bob as he topped up a jar with assorted colours of win gums. "I am not too sure the others." "I beg your …

The Fats Show

The hull creaked under the onslaught of the elements but still the Friget ploughed on thrown the melee. The captain looked ruefully into the oncoming storm, it was foolish to be traveling at all in this weather, but orders were orders. Admiralty could be ridiculously reckless sometimes, even more so now Provine had joined the …

Sleepy Time in Shropshire

Well thanks to mis-reading the cinema times (twice!) I didn't go to see Wonder Woman on Thursday and I was feeling tired yesterday so didn't got to see the Chicago Swing Katz on Sunday night. It's going to be an expensive month this week as I have both my Car Insurance and my Service due, …

How do you like to spend a rainy day? Since I am a Brit with a dash of Yorkshire blood running through my veins, I put on me big coat and get on with whatever I need to be doing. https://youtu.be/U7lWMYKsC8U   I am not one for the romanticizing of rainy days or the lazing …
