The stained glass window for him is definitely a favourite. Can barely wait for bunting bollocks here, seeing as its already flaggers delight in parts.
Mind, there is a local mural celebrating when the twat from the BNP rode a horse on StGD and got chased off.

Cuddy Ducks should have been raised aloft indeed.

I am underjoyed to still be logged on sorting out other people's fuck ups.

I also am a dithering wuss

Control so important.

Added to this is I no longer have any contact with my sister who is The Organiser and that is who I need to RSVP to.. And IF my brother hasn't been invited and I ask him for info, could be awks...

And can't bring myself to have to ask questions to The Organiser like "is it just your family attending, why have you chosen a really hard to get to venue, who else is going"

I envy people with the ability to just be able to contact people without it being full on stress inducing. Yes I am still unable to respond to the invite to Mum's 90th as I want more info.

Not looking forward to work much. I mean this is hardly news, but not having the whole anxiety-vomit feeling since Friday lunchtime has been pleasant.

Well that woild be a grave stone inscroption! Pig iron moulds - still remember being taught about them in school. And probably hadn't thought of it til now.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

Blacksmiths and a whitesmith (guessing cold iron work) Corporation Gas Men,box makers, railways and the fishing rod maker and anything inbetween. And then the one who went to be sailor...

I believe these are Valuable Life Skills. I also have a bit of The Fear around stairs/carpets having watched far too many detective dramas.

Spong and The Mincers - festival stalwarts

"Even when they were photographed they were 'extras and rarely the central subiect In these two photographs dating from 1925, the star is the Nettlefolds' little grandson Henry Crosskey. His nurse is called Diana, but in both photos she is literally "faceless""

Every good country pile needs a ghost so Headless Nurse it is.

A bed warming pan with a peacock design on an arts n craft style counterpane

Although think I'll stick to my current hottie rather than a peacock engraved warming pan.

A box engraved with the words "slippers" with a white and peach ewer and bowl

Not that I have owned/worn slippers since I was about 6, I do feel that life might be bit if slipper boxes were part of it.

Reflections

Reflections of plants

Photos of glamours black n white film stars. Olive is beautiful on the left. My hair has looked like that often.

I think Miss Olive May certainly did..

Carolvn Blake The House Protects the Dreamer 18 Oil on canvas, 2025 This painting formed partof Further than Memor can Reach', an exhibition by Carolvn Blake in 2025 At the close of the exhibition, the artist donated the painting Winterbourne. The image is based on a photograph of John Macdonald Nicolson staunding by the Gunnera manicata, a plant which he introduced to Winterbourne Tohn left the house and garden to the University of Birmingham in his will in 1944.

Somewhat disturbing - not just because hairy rhubarb are aliens - "The House Protects The Dreamer" by Carolyn Blake. A title of a Pan Horror Short Story if ever there was one.

Music relating to The Titchborne Claiment

Visit to the Sidcup Met Police Crime museum last year featured Roger The Dodger in music tribute.

Sping mincers

Well Winterbourne House and gardens was certainly a good choice.

Grabbed a trayful of drinks off a table as a full on bar fight developed and didn't spill a drop

I'm not asking for a scratch n sniff experience..

Birmingham was THE place for fancy dan buttons apparently, them and pen nibs. Amongst all the other bits

Ooh Birmingham Conservatoire is very swish.

Oh f me!
