Believe it or, if you must, believe it not but one of the most popular posts I have ever written in the four years or so I have been doing this is this one about hip punishments back in April 2006. It did not attract many comments but overthe years there is hardly a month [...]

It really has all been going on up here on Tolgate Hill. First of all that big fire on Sunday, and then yesterday there was an obstruction in the road as I came home from work. Right opposite where the fire was there was a tow truck blocking half of the road. It was reversed [...]

Moving in mysterious ways

On the way up to Herts today we were overtaken on the M25 by God, who obviously fancies himself as part of Torchwood. I was disappointed that I didn’t get the camera out of the glovie in time when a car with the number plate “BOB” (or 8 O) went passed, but this compensated for [...]
