James Burke’s ‘Connections’ would like a word.

Thanks!

The gutters had a thin plastic mesh covering them when we moved in, which had become brittle and fragile with age. This is a much more robust system and should work just as well (and last longer) than the previous installation. I guess we’ll see in due course!

Thanks!

They’re proper ceramic(?) / slate tiles and they do overlap but the moss may be hiding the joins.

With the kit I bought, very simple indeed. The sections clip together and are held spring-loaded in the gutters. Once I’d figured out the best way of fitting the sections together, it was a breeze.

Probably, but that’s t’wife’s department. She designs and plants; I just do the heavy lifting as instructed!

This area will be a woodland garden. The grass will go, and the whole area will be bark-chipped with lots of trees. It’s all a work-in-progress!

Previously called Brunel’s SS Great Britain, it will now be known as Bristol Dockyards.

Wait, I’ve seen The Money Pit; I know this line!

We also have mice, thanks to our Puss who keeps bringing them in to play. Actually, I think we’re currently mouse-free after I ejected yesterday’s offering.

That depends on the box of chocolates!

I’ve only just started it and I’m trying to make it last! As usual, it’s gripping and a wonderful reading experience.

And Lee Child wrote a Jack Reacher book about it.

Oh do fuck off, there’s a good chap.

Pretty sure they are. Incestuous relationships between consenting adults (with the age varying by location) are permitted, including in the Netherlands, France, Slovenia, and Spain. Why not check before making such a statement?

Excuse me! Loads of Western European countries allow full incest (e.g. Belgium, France, Spain, etc.) so let’s not pick on us Brits for allowing cousins to fuck.
