Tuxford event

[biffvernon]

Dear All,
If you're in the north Nottinghamshire area on Saturday 7th May, you may be interested in attending this (free) event at Tuxford windmill.

A variety of traditional building crafts will be demonstrated by skilled practitioners, who will be happy to talk about what they are doing and answer questions - they may even let you have a go. There will also be suppliers of traditional materials in attendance, and you may be surprised how many traditional materials are easily available. If you're more interested in technical matters, a variety of relevant professionals will also be present.

My favourite quote from last year was "I never knew half of these crafts even existed."

With best wishes, John Holland.

There used to be a pub in Clifton, near Aynho, Oxon, with a sign outside that proudly proclaimed:

Disgusting Food
Filthy Ale

It was always packed.

Did anyone see the sun this morning? Orange it was , you could look straight into it , right up until around 7.30. Very spooky.

 

[philpjuk100]

It is tomorrow!

 

[Penners]

Is that some sort of statement of temporal philosophy, or just a reminder about the date?
