Sliced

You'd be hard pressed to beat the deliciousness of Malt Loaf, and in particular the brand leader Soreen. When you're on the go and in a hurry, surely this handy little pack is superior to bread pre-cut into equal parts LOL?

It's That Time

Coffee time, you really cannot beat it LOL.

Moving On

... And from Lane End, we've headed into High Wycombe, a town that used to be a hub of British furniture making dontchaknow. Except we're not here for tables and chairs, or indeed the renowned theatre, The Swan, but drinks may be involved at some point...

What To Do On A Tuesday

Sometimes you just can't keep away LOL. Here's an image of a beautiful country church too, worth a visit.

Roadside

One of the things I dislike about modern cars is the lack of a spare tyre, even a so-called Space Saver. 

Obviously without the Spare there's also no need to supply a jack and tools either. Manufacturers often claim this is to improve fuel efficiency but I suspect it is more that they have realised they can save a few quid. Plus they can invoice the customer a small fortune to supply this "Optional Extra" from new.

Instead cars come with liquid tyre repair compound in an aerosol container. This is great if you're really stuck but if you've picked up a nail or screw, using the compound means repair shops are unable to patch what might have been an otherwise perfectly good tyre. This then turns a £25 (AU$50, US$35) repair into a replacement tyre in excess of £100. 

All this is to say, after a recent experience, I've found a supplier of OEM Space Saver tyres, together with scissor jack etc all for the bargain price of £140 (AU$280, US$190). Given my previous runs of poor (tyre) fortune, this will pay for itself in no time. 

Maybe I can rest easy now LOL.

Puffin

Cos he's old enough to buy his old man booze LOL.

Crumble

Just look what has arrived, yum!

In my humble opinion, this Aussie delight is superior to the Cadbury Crunchie.

Aldworth

St Mary's church, absolutely gorgeous.

Mother And Baby Home

Just watched the Long Lost Family special about the UK Mother and Baby Homes, that operated in Britain until the early 1970's.

Here's a link to some information about the one I was born in.

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot

Found somewhere on the Interweb. 

Made me chuckle.

Long Lost Family

Some here will be aware of the story of my early years, it's not a secret, and others might also be aware of my own interest in family history. For me tv shows such as Who Do You Think You Are? and Lost Lost Family are compelling viewing. So this is exciting news. Anyone overseas should, if interested, be able to watch on ITVX, via a VPN and any valid UK postcode.
