There’s only so long you can spend sitting at home, reading threads on Mumsnet; Honestly, Mumsnet is now nearly as lively as Discourse these days. And more lively than my walk round Grimesthorpe, which Mrs RM hilariously confused with Grimethorpe (of Brassed Off fame) ! Possibly beacuse I missed out the “s”, but don’t let’s… Continue reading HAVING A BALL IN GRIMESTHORPE

CRUSHED BY THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRY

CHRISTMAS DAY – BASS HUNTING IN BURNGREAVE
What did you do on Christmas Day ? Because it’s just another day in our (new) house, I wrote blogs, visited blogs, and ensured there was enough beer for Dasher, Comet and Baa Baa Toure. The pint glasses contain Kelham Island’s Pale Rider and Knight Rider, take-out from the Fat Cat. CAMRA will be delighted… Continue reading CHRISTMAS DAY – BASS HUNTING IN BURNGREAVE
