“Don’t get us wrong: it was great playing doom metal as members of a full band, but since breaking off to write and perform as a duo we have hit upon a simpler, more dynamic kind of creativity.”

THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

If you are going to light the oven to bake a spiced apple cake you may as well knock up a sourdough loaf and a crumbly lancashire cheese abd onion pie while you are at it I reckon.
On a wooden board a cooling rack holds a plate pie and a domed load. On the right a sponge cake sits on a white plate.

New arrivals from @nethertonfoundry.bsky.social undergoing proving trials. They passed with distinction, obvs.
Two brand new iron stew pans sit on the front row of a black gas hob. The leftmost one contains leek and potato soup from which a whisp of steam ascends. Behind the stew pans are a well-used iron prospector pan and a red kettle. Behind them are black and white chequered tiles.

Archie. Ten tears ago today.

A totally confused, very underweight rescue collie standing on the black and white checked floor of a kitchen he has never been in before wondering if he is in some sort of trouble.

48 and out. Archie assumes command after sending me off to shut the bottom gates of the last lock on this trip.
A collie stands on the stern of a narrowboat in sole command. He is staring at the surface of the water, totally focussed and ready for any eventuality.

Good morning!
In the dawn light reflections of naked trees and the leaden sky lead to a hump-backed bridge on the right. To the left of the bridge a narrowboat is moored at a small wharf. Through the bridge moorex boats of people who have enjoyed an evening in the Olde Barbridge Inn wait patiently for their crews to stir.

Good? Morning!
Blue-grey clouds softly glowing in the dawn light and the steel grey canal flecked with rust-like puddles of rain sandwich a swathe of grassland zipped to the sky by a line of trees. A narrowboat huddles against the rain to our left.

Good morning!

Today I will be mainly cruising into this old oil painting and out the other side. I will keep an eye out for chimney sweeps and nannies.

An oil painting of the middle section of Audlem Locks. Lock beams and sluice mechanisms descend like an abandoned game of Jenga lying in a spilt drink.

Good morning!
Looking over the tiller, the thick carpet of leaves on the towpath to the roght leads towards Audlem to lock and the hump-backed bridge behind it. Rapidly balding trees are reflected in the mirror-still water of the canal. On the stone wall of the house to the right of the lock sits a three-sided wooden shop containing two fridges and an honesty box.
