Wednesday we went to Boston(a polish town) in Lincolnshire,met up with Alan Towers and Vicki,we had a scrounge round the shops,a labour of love for the two blokes,then to a little cafe for a roast beef dinner,and treacle sponge,these pensioners know how to live.
They left their country residence today ,to oversee bathroom work on their Yorkshire residence Alantowers,I have been out for a paper,and the weather has reverted to normal English summer,showers and sunny spells,it all makes for a green and pleasant land.
Chickens are" chucked out" of their palace for the cleaning lady to fettle the place out,by heck thats a good yorkshire word"fettle" I don't know how I remember them.
Called at the Le Blade residence on the way back from Boston to check on his extension ,but he was out,though I did have a cursory glimpse of the footings,quite a large project I feel.
The fireplace at the Montana's is changeable as the English weather,and in response to MS's request I suggest a nice Cabernet Red,or a Beak Yellow as in my painted cockerel photo,though North Sea Brown will probably be the final colour.
As I write the avian ladies are expelled from their palace by their "mam" who is shovelling certain residues from the floor,and replacing it with some nice clean sawdust,as yet no rewards for all the expense and labour,I am informed at this very moment that the ladies have clamoured to be let in out of the rain,but to no avail,such chicken capers must be a joy to read about.
Nice to see that Sonia is providing sustenance for Michael during the exhausting viewing of the football,its a penance we all share with him this event,I suggest a little Glenmorangie at half time as a pick me up,and a few nuts or other nibbles should you really want to please the lad.
I am told that Rotherham Utd. are to play in Sheffield at the Don Valley Stadium,but it could just be a malicious rumour emanating from Sheffield,more believable information would be welcome.
Ciao Graham

So is Sheila responsible for cleaning the chickens?
I like that word "fettle". May incorporate it into my vocabulary.
By the way, I will give red serious consideration for the fp. It would need to be glazed with something to give it some depth.
Yes, Rotherham are playing at Don Valley next Season unless someone buys them out.
