  1. I have a grandchild being born soon in the sunshine state,that will be my next destination,I was actually thinking earlier me my son and his child will all have been born on different continents,California can wait a while,but I will be back Wiarton Willie the Ontario groundhog was on TV earlier predicting another 6 weeks of winter which is fine,i have enjoyed it thus far,watched Ice carvers earlier and been invited to watch a skidoo race 20 km down a frozen river later in the week.

  6. Did a bit of research tats "Some component parts" for Crispi are made in China and Romania,I am guessing that could be the laces or the speed hooks?I had solid ice on both boots the other week,kicked them against a rock to break it off,warm feet always even when out in snow and ice daily,I think they are incredibly well made.
  7. Come on man,it’s Bangers we are chatting about,the man,the myth,the legend,he laughs at injuries,he would still be putting the miles in if he was on his death bed,he is an ebeneezer,a crowd pleaser,a proper geezer

  11. It’s a pity you haven’t time to visit the avenue of giants and the lost coast heading up to Oregon mate,but there’s always next time there’s houses in the giant sequoias,real tree houses,don’t ask how but when you see a tree with a front door and windows in the trunk it’s a WTF moment
  12. Which app is that on Leo? went to the cinema a few days back to watch The Housemaid,more twists and turns than an Italian alpine road,stars Brandon Sklenar of 1923 fame,the trailer for the film gives nothing whatsoever away 8/10

  14. California Karen’s you going down the coast Santa Monica,long beach,HB etc?Try and make a couple of hours for Corona or emerald bay,Corona because it’s just such a pristine town and emerald bay for scenery
  15. There’s normally a couple from here go,I think @mel b will be going?
  16. September I was on a rooftop above Whitehall,best seat in the house,always good to get an elevated position
  17. It was going to be “I kneaded the dough” a play on bakery words,but Darcy Books his publisher advised against it in case it went into the cookery section rather than the True Crime
  18. I just popped into a library to see if they had a copy of “Fly fishing” by J.R.Hartley,they didn’t but look what I found on the shelves
