Just so I can pin this to my feed. We sent Mum off in style. Laughs, tears, one ‘sod Covid’ hug between two tearful Sons - and a beautiful afternoon on the 25th.
Why does everything with meat (pork this time) and cider, apple, mustard and mushroom sauce end up with my wife going “1970’s supper!” The sauce was v good if I do say so myself.
Looking into the history of a Reading Church (former site of a jail…not the one where old Oscar was incarcerated) here is a late Victorian pic. My parents had “digs” in one of the old houses on the right whilst working at the hospital after moving from Farnborough (Kent) in…
Dear specific teenager, when having a lunch with what I assume were your parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle (one of whom was undoubtedly paying for your meal) and other younger siblings….please do not regale the table with a lecture, delivered in serious tones, of what…
Winchester Trip. Summarised. “Mod” motability scooter, a man with hats, will the Jane Austen stuff never end ? A brooch I bought my wife and a pistachio croissant for breakfast. The true King, the out of place gothic town council rooftop , good old Gieves and a strange plaque…

St Mary’s, Castle Street, built on the site of the old County Gaol, where it is said that John Bunyan, author of 'Pilgrim's Progress', was once imprisoned. A building I’ve never been inside. Have to rectify that. BCP services too. 1798 origin but portico added in 1840.
