That doesn’t look like our dump. We are a mess with giant bull dozers pushing earth over the trash with recycling only in one small corner.

I’m fascinated by the Brunell’s dock and tower. According to Wikippedia, there’s restoration afoot. Any chance of photographs?

Stay warm.

Have a look here and here, Mage. The tower isn’t much of a muchness unless you’re interested in such things. I’ve yet to take a visit to the dock.

Graham’s plans sound good; building a workshop sounds like a great idea!
Hugs from the far side, ~ Sil

I can imagine how the wind howls around and through those concrete columns of the motorway bridge.

Have you ever thought of heading South until the butter melts, John, and then settling there? As this endless winter continues I find the idea an attractive one…

But – “Ye Gods and little fishes”. I haven’t heard that exclamation since my Latin teacher used to come out with it in, erm, about 1963 I guess.

And healthwise pear-shapes are supposed to be better than apple-shapes. But I’m sure, barrels are still better!

I cannot get on enough clothes to feel warm. Why doesn’t Graham build himself a proper work shop?

My husband says winter is Godde’s way of telling all animals to stay in their burrows. We’re snowed in and loving it. Don’t forget the hot liquids!

I love how the Welsh sprinkle in all those extra consonants for fun and what were you talking about?
