I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before…

Sad really. Apart from some Barnsley FC programmes, it’s the only physical thing I’ve got from my childhood.

I’ve still got mine!

Just read this whole thread thinking that’s a great idea, then saw your post and remembered I actually subscribe to that podcast…

Safe to say, things have improved somewhat in the last (almost) 7 years…😊

When we bought our French house, this was the (downstairs*) shower…🤮
*Upstairs was just one ‘space’ with nothing in it.😂

Latest piece of artwork to go up in our French home. #cats
