Witterings are, well they’re witterings really. They’re not uncategorised posts but don’t really fit into anything else
Well the 93 failed its MOT. The exhaust is leaking in the flexi section so that needs replacing and the offside front road spring is broken. So that needs to be replaced, and of course you change them in pairs so thats £120 just for the springs then you need to add labour on. Its […]
We had a good day in Worcester yesterday. As it was quite some time since the Gloucester pub Crawl we’d decided that we needed to do another pub crawl because they’re such good fun. We were supposed to be going to Bristol but the train service was a complete mess and so we went to […]
Despite the weather (which actually was remarkably good) we had an excellent time at the 3rd Annual Cheltenham Beer Festival which was raising money for the Cheltenham Branch of The Samaritans. Last years event raised £6000 which is pretty impressive and helps keep The Samaritans running providing a service that really does help save peoples […]
Well this weekend is the Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans beer festival. This is their third annual beer festival and if the other two were anything to go by then this too will be a great day out and with a very worthy cause. I’ve never needed the Samaritans myself because I’ve had people I’ve been […]

Well we got back home on Friday. Had a couple of minor problems with luggage but its sorted now. I will be writing up some posts about the rest of the time in Maine when I’ve got some time… like next week at work! And I’ll get some photos uploaded onto Flickr too

Well its Sunday, Mothers Day, mothering Sunday, or whatever. Well it is over here in the USA. Kathy took Jen down to Portland for a makeover before her wedding (which is next weekend) and then Jen is taking her out for lunch. So I’m back here in Hallowell busy doing nothing. Its a sunny day […]
“Over 100 years ago, France started a war with Mexico. In the Mexican city of Puebla, two forts blocked the advance of the French troops. There were about 6,000 French and 2,000 Mexican soldiers. The Mexicans were under the command of General Ignacio Zaragoza. On May 5, 1862, the French attacked the two forts. Before […]

Well we’re off to Maine for nearly 3 weeks. We’ve got my step-daughters wedding to go to (I’m doing the photographs) and we want to spend time with Kathy’s mum and we want to go sightseeing. Kathy wants to go down to Pemmaquid and sit by the ocean for a bit. We know that its […]
