@April_1970s They are really nice especially with the filler foliage. Only £10 too. This year is a bit of practise really to try and do more markets in future years

75 years ago today, my great-uncle Maurice Knight drowned in the Rhine. Sadly his body was never recovered. You are still remembered. Thanks for your help earlier this year @rgpoulussen . #Arnhem75 @James1940 @almurray

A little thread on a little black book... I've been sorting through old family paperwork. I found this book, a diary, from 1885. Some pages missing & the only writing was on the 2nd April 1885 when a relative got 4 eggs & 2 cream tarts...

@fugitiveink I love those old metal windows, such a classic simple design. Also get annoyed when Grand Designs have a couple who knock down a perfectly good house & then use immense amounts of concrete to build a house that is x5 times bigger than they need!
