Not posted for a while, lots been going on. Far too much to mention. In no particular order. Retiled the wetroom floor with a very nice herringbone patterned procelain tile in several differing shades of grey and brown. Went OK. fairly pleased with it. […]
Today is the first day of my extended three week and two day Christmas break and frankly, I deserve it……! I’m not back in until the 2nd Jan next year! God knows what sort of mess the place will be in on my return… and if anyone has adjusted my chair or hidden my fountain […]
It’s been a while…… So what been happening? Probably quite a bit and if it wasn’t for this appalling memory some of it might even make it into print…… At work, another FM has decided he can’t stand the heat and has quit the kitchen. So thats another one i’ll have to train up……I think […]

Tel left behind some DF Greive models that needed finishing as well as an unfinished Airfix kit of a Triumph Herald. I thought that I would finish off what he started and put them in the display case with the rest of the models that he completed. I deliberately did not redo or change anything […]
Well it’s been a while……. Quite a bit has happened since the last posting, the main point being that we lost Tel in September. He’d lived with us in the annex at the Tollgate in Whitchurch for over 10 years and had helped us to renovate the last three houses we owned. Had a good […]
