    Christmas preparations past and present

    No not just Xmas tins but tins throughout my life. Some are very rusty no matter what I had done to preserve them and are no longer in the house but store Pete's nails screws etc.

    Wildlife camera.

    Had one bought for me for my birthday and it is a bit hit and miss as to what it picks up. Patience is what you require with these. Had a couple of large rats as well as a fox and loads of birds. Good luck.

    Birmingham Anglers' Association

    The same thing happened when Pete was fishing a contest and further up two lads decided to swim across the river. On their way back one got into serious difficulty and I ended up going in for him. Good job I had been well trained at that time.

    Holidays : Holidays at home and days out

    We once had a caravan at Stourport when out twins were ten and we all loved it. Bumped into Amy Turtle off Crossroads once as she had a van on another site there. Pete used to do night fishing there and I would take him his breakfast sandwiches and a fresh flask of coffee. Happy days.

    Kunzle Family

    Their cakes were to die for and I am not a great cake lover. My dads cousins Julie and Ada worked for the company for some years and were always bringing the miss shapes home for us.
