Mrs RM had spent 9 nights in Royal Tunbridge Wells solving family dramas so was grateful when I came to drive her home, particularly as the in-laws toilet was broken and the outside privy had been decommissioned in 1972. It’s a four hour journey from Kent to Sheffield, so Stamford is a decent half-way stop… Continue reading TEA IN THE TOBIE NORRIS

SAM SMITHS OBB SAFE IN STAMFORD

The main new item on European news stations while I was abroad over Christmas was the impact on York, and neighbouring Tadcaster, with its iconic Sam Smiths brewery, seems to have been particularly affected. There have been reports about stocks of Old Brewery… Continue reading SAM SMITHS OBB SAFE IN STAMFORD
