    CHRISTMAS 2020

    Every year at this time, someone dresses a tree in a local ravine / creek, home to a family of ducks...I think this is a wonderful gesture for our wildlife at Christmas. Dave A

    Stereos, Hi-Fi’s, Record Players, Gramophones

    Coincidentally...just this week I dug out my collection of 45's from under the basement stairs. I looked at them and really wanted to hear some of the music I hadn't heard for years. Problem being that many of them are unplayable due to their history of abuse. However, YouTube to the rescue!! I...

Once the tipped fags took hold, she would smoke the whole thing right down to the cork. Fags never tasted as good after that, there was a major difference...

It certainly was a lot easier than the open fire experience. However, it happened one day that the burner in the heater kept flaring up and our...
