Where I live it is horses...with cyclists a very narrow second.

We have lots of those too. One woman in particular who rides at the same time of day on the same shadey route in navy on a dark bay horse..

We recommend these:

They are effective for both traffic seeing one and for them passing you sensibly.

It was like a toyshop /novelty shop crossed with Willy Wonka's factory.:D If they still have stores I hoope they're as good as the old ones. It started as a mail order company.
It was based vaguely around SingleSue's end of the country IIRC.

That's an interesting link,, PN. I stand corrected . It still has about 20 stores but none in any major cities. well Cardiff, Edinburgh and Bristol are the only large(ish) ones with a store

Beccles...which is not far as the crow flies.

Am I the nly person watching grand designs tonight? I am left totally cold by the project.....even though the building and location seemed exciting and held appeal, the result is..............bland.

I was watching it while working. I found the couple offputting. Not sure why. The building should have been amazing like a little hidden nook but it wasn't.



My viewing last night was Masterchef followed by Grand Designs :rotfl:

Yes.

Mainly the ones I have met though.



Btw any more photos of westie dog? While he is still my favourite white terrier? . In a few months he'll just be the coolest westie I have ever seen, and my favourite westy in the world.

I will miss the kiwi fruit with teeth when he is not brown any more.

Radio three are playing the original version rhapsody in blue. It's so good to be sitting here listening to it in full (because I am shattered) it was a seminal piece of music and I ract to it in much the same way as I do the summer suite of the four seasons and my most beloved hard house. I love a piece of music that forces a tempo change in your heart and physical reactions.

Sigh, that was good.

Beautiful song. On a visit to the US I made a compliation tape with it on it.

It used a funny booth in a record shop which recorded music for you back in the 80s and labeleld and boxed the cassette for you.

It was a very eclectic mixtape and I couldn't think of a good name. When the guy asked what to call it I said "Now That's What I Call Unrelated Music" which meant nothing over there.

Had a an eerie (though pleasant) feeling reading last night's posts.
It’s a funny small world.
Nikkster works/ worked on membranes .
A neighbour/friend once designed a model of membrane structure (a loooong time ago)
His cousin was Alastair Cooke whose broadcasts Spirit enjoys.
Not quite six degrees of Kevin Bacon but makes me feel everything’s more closely connected than we think:)

I love those! Especially Clas Ohlson. I go in there and see so many things that I wonder how I've managed to get this far into my life without realising I need one.

There's something also about the clean lines and minimalist styling that implies quality. I'm such a sucker.

Like what?
There's one in merry hell, but I've never been in there.
