The suspense re the knee is riveting. Can hardly wait for the next installment.

1 year agoThanks, john... that was a really nice day and an increadible transformation from the previous day of stress and frustration.
1 year agoBrilliant photos, Graham! Couldn't decide whether the landscape or the architecture were the better -- loved 'em both!
Cheers, John
It was a surreal being there and recalling all that.
The reason for never having visited that church was because it was right next to the farmhouse and it was a no-go area for us back then.
Lovely story about the Bluebottle!
1 year agoI did try to say it. I doubt a Welshman would understand.

1 year agoHi Robyn
Thanks for the info'. I did take a couple of snaps of the runners through some trees and may now post one on this page.
It's good to have a focal point when cycle touring and I imagine you've met some nice, friendly people while doing a parkrun.
South Wales is a really nice place and there's no doubt you'd enjoy it. It's a long flight though!
Hi,
I watched the clip you recommended. Thanks. Your experience with the antique dealer is about what I would have expected, especially when walking into his church-cum- shop. People like that don’t sell much because everything they own is overvalued in their own minds. I’ll bet his own house displays the same hoarding tendencies.
Liberty and Co. is the nec plus ultra for collectors of A &C . Not that I could afford the prices that it goes for. I have made my own furniture in the arts and crafts style, but mostly borrowing from American designers. Wood is cheaper than finished furniture, and I can adapt a design ( or make my own) to fit my needs or the space I have available. There’s a photo of my living room in Susan Carpenter’s journal, if your interested . To Dijon is the name of the page.
Have you found any interesting pots recently? Thinking about that hoarder’s shop, I’ll bet there’s at least one or two nice items in there if a: one could find them and b: get them for a reasonable price.
Drink another beer for me. I’ll pretend I’m tasting it!
Cheers,
Keith
It felt like my knee was having rivets put through it ...
