Casting round for something to do.<br /><br />----------------------<br /><br />Gayle - Retracing steps is something I have come to terms with over the last year or two especially when walking with my friend Pete. On this occasion I had no desire whatsoever to go back over that awkward path through the woods above the river. Good to hear how well your insulation performed - from what I saw of your construction I would have no doubts, better than most professional installations I think.

There are always different things to be seen when going in the opposite direction. <br /><br />Re: preheating the car and the associated security risk, we realised last week that a happy side effect of having a diesel heater fitted in the back of our car is that, if we're organised enough, we can set that running to both heat the interior and defrost the windows before a journey. It was pleasing to see that the snow on the roof didn't melt at the same time; we must have done a good job with the insulation.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-25913963237265777012021-01-02T18:42:21.313+00:002021-01-02T18:42:21.313+00:00I think the bike was a wise decision Conrad.

I can't believe it was 1955 - that is 65 years ago!<br /><br />Perhaps you were right and the fishing tackle was just cover for some nefarious activity. There is a tenuous thread here - Broccoli directed Cockleshell and went on to do early Bond films. Looking at the white covering this morning today they would have been better clad in the outfits used for The Heroes of Telemark.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-71200738398989726842020-12-31T10:36:41.573+00:002020-12-31T10:36:41.573+00:00Sorry to hear the bike has gone, but it sounds as ...Sorry to hear the bike has gone, but it sounds as though it was going to be more trouble than it was worth.<br />That muddy stretch through the woods looked arduous. I've given up on mud for a while.<br />You did well to be superstitious of those three characters, since when do you need camouflage clothing for fishing? Was there any evidence that they had canoed up the Lune under the cover of darkness for a rendezvous with Mr Y. <br />https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-cockleshell-heroes-1955-trevor-howard-cckh-009foh-29121298.htmlbowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.com
