After having viewed A Short Blast of Fred Astaire umpteen times, last night I noticed an elf attached so it appears to be climbing the wall of Nora's house. It's at the top right of the frame, just over Nora's head. Colorful like a garden gnome, but cute and fun, in great moderation. I believe I...

Kept me offline for about 18 hours. We had the worst wind and rain in my experience yesterday evening, and I thought I'd seen it all. A mature tree uprooted and landed on the front porch roof of the house across the street, causing only superficial damage. I didn't see it happen because I was...

When I make my daily pot of tea (Assam loose leaf) before I add the tea Arkwright asks, "Did you warm that pot?!" Crikey! I'm not Granville, and anyway he had always pre-warmed the pot.

https://www.lovefood.com/galleries/67776/batch-barm-cob-or-bap-what-do-you-call-a-bread-roll?page=1 I've read that in Nuneaton and environs it's called a "batch". Now I know what current and former residents mean when they write on the Nuneaton Local and Family History Facebook page about a few...

Apologies for my absence. On November 24th I was taken to hospital with severe loss of strength in the legs, brain fog, and what was diagnosed as failure of the right kidney. As soon as the diagnosis was made, I was rushed into surgery for a stent to “open up” the kidney. In a nursing home...

I've been watching I Didn't Know You Cared. Larry Noble, the actor who played Mouse, turned up. His first appearance was in Series 1, Episode 3, "The Old Tin Trunk", then in Series 2, Episode 2, "Chez Us". He's also listed in Episode 4, "A Signal Disaster", but I have yet to view that one...

Remember the Stanhope, where the wedding guests met the bus? It had been a hotel and pub, then it fell on hard times, probably because of the tiny population of the hamlet of Dunford Bridge, where it's located. It's at the end of the Trans-Pennine trail, where the multi-use path transitions to...

In First of the Summer Wine, during the lead-up to the war, Mr. Clegg (Peter Sallis) read in the newspaper that the British military was going to use homing pigeons. He didn't think much of the idea, and in that show it was just a passing bit of dialog. I just finished reading a novel based on...

I had wondered what I was seeing in the Holmfirth webcam image. Thanks to Facebook, now I know. See What's on in Holmfirth, posted by Kate Fielding at about 8:28, BST.

It hasn't changed since around lunchtime yesterday.

This is near my home, a bit east of here. My area got only about 2 feet of snow in that storm.

Only one of the clever scarecrows displayed throughout Holmbridge and photographed by a visitor for others to enjoy.
