You were lucky to get this, I see there's a back order now until March at least.

They did that in the UK because of COVID, made the test so easy, then sent drivers out unprepared to drive with a forty foot trailer.

Sound all too familiar. Sadly.

a new, short series: #concerts:

Big Country.

I saw them six months earlier, supported by the ten unsigned Wonderstuff, and Big Country had not played for about six months, and did not want to stop playing.

11 encores, the Wonderstuff. Great gig. April gig, not so. Too short and sweaty

I have no memory of that gig. I know I was sober as I was the only one who had a working car.

Christine and Shine On were top tunes, as we used to say.

Guy Chadwick and the House of Love were expected to be huge, but never quite happened, despite signing for a major.

I was so taken with your shot of Birthwort, I have ordered myself a plant for the garden. Now just to find a place for it....

Thanks Alex

What Wiki fails to mention are the spots.

Having visited 398 Kent churches, or there abouts, this is the only Theow I have seen so far.

It is on a memorial to one of the Culpepers who can be found in many Kent churches.

Sorry about the typo, sometimes my fingers go faster than my brain.
