FOGGY DOGGY

That time of year for 0800 dog walks.

Atmospheric conditions make it the best 

time of year for such things.

SUNDAY 12TH REMEMBRANCE PARADE IN PORTSMOUTH

4pm on the Saturday, quite happy in France

after the local remembrance, it seemed like a good

idea to book that nights ferry and be in Pompey

for their remembrance day.

Soon met up with some old shipmates.

Taff Llewellyn and Harry Humble.

Along with several other old friends,

paid our respects, and visited many of

the old haunts for a fine day

on the beer.

11th NOVEMBER. REMEMBRANCE.

Love the way our village allow us to be part

of the ceremony.

Let's face it, we were on the same side.

This years wreath had a Navy cap tally

of the 100th anniversary of women being

able to enlist.

Made the paper too.

TWO NEW CHICKENS

Introducing the 2 new chickens.

Joan and Yolko.

We lost Cilla who died of natural causes

a couple of weeks ago.

They are ex battery hens and are

loving their freedom.

Very productive too.

DOG WALK AT LAST

At last I am able to walk the
dogs again after the accident.

And I get the coldest morning
of the autumn so far. 

Still a little way to go before
I can do the full walk, but
it's the best part of the day around
sunrise, and good to be back in the fields.

AUTUMN PRODUCE

What is the point of pumpkins?

You grow 8 of them, carve one for

halloween, then you are left with this

weak tasting gourd pulp which is useless

apart from making soups.

And the last of the raspberries.

We have had so many of them, we 

are heartily sick of them.

Still, this raspberry rum should be nice over Xmas.

BIT OF A BASH

Took a bit of a battering yesterday. was passing the school on 

my scooter, when one of the teachers came screaming

out the feeder road forcing me to take evasive action.

Straight over the bike and a couple of forward rolls.

Blood everywhere with a broken nose, multiple cuts 

and bruises and 3 dislocated fingers.

Bloody sore this morning, but no lasting damage.

The best advice I got, buy a decent crash helmet.

That saved me from more harm.
