Back in the old days before AI I used to make stupid pictures. Here's Carol Black 'n' Decker.

I've just eaten this Burrata. It's a cheese made from mozzarella mixed with cream just to make it slightly healthier.

I have no idea what purpose is served by the inclination of this ladder in my apartment in Italy.

Look. In your face Time Team. That there is a rusty parapet. Smashing. The search for the mystery object will soon continue. I have a feeling it may have been a tippler. Here ends my Ted Talk.

Mr Tonks comes up with the goods. This carried trains under the bridleway and on to the mainline loading area. Mr Tonks also informed me it had been backfilled along with the cutting.

I'm researching this little area. This is about where our walks used to stop and turn back. If you take a look at where the line coming in from the west meets the bridleway there is a bridge symbol. Hmm. I love me a bridge.

The pin at the bottom was where me and dad used to park to walk up the bridleway to the west of the mainline. This was the site of Glendon and Rushton ironstone quarries. The longest continually quarried site in the Midlands.

This dear friends, is why I always check the inside of the plugs on off hired equipment.

Decided I needed some comfy clothes for slobbing about in. Bought the cheapest hoody and shorts on Vinted. I think we all know who the real winner is here.

I'm visiting a house that was formerly a castle. It was built by William the Conqueror (some of it was anyway). I've just been complimented on my beard by a random Canadian lady. Good day all round

I've become more than a little obsessed with the Cutteslowe wall. Have a look on the interwebs. Fascinating.

We've got a new telly for the spare room. To get to the bracket I had to move all the grandkids soft toys so I just threw them on to the bed. I noticed they all looked very uncomfortable and sad piled up so I've moved them to the beanbag and they look much happier now.
