Exploring again

After a morning spent getting Yarwood ship shape, floors washed, hoovering done, surfaces dusted and  polished and lunch prepared and eaten I set off with Jill and the four mutts to do some more exploring. We were out for three and hour hours with a 30min stop for a pint...as you do.  I was  impressed with Northamptonshire on our last trip through here two years ago and I remain a fan of this part of the world...it is simply lovely!

Thing of beauty...

  2. Post script to your list of things you hate: it reminds me of a favorite T-shirt I used to own, and I think you need one like it. It was a Calvin & Hobbes shirt with a picture of Calvin scowling and saying, "Every day I am forced to add another name to the list of people who p*** me off." Everuyone who saw it got it--and smiled. Even small kids.
