    Stuck Truck

These two farms were in Norfolk (near Dereham) and didn't have enough room for an arctic to turn round. The shortest drive was just short of 1Km and after a couple of years of...

    My bakery!

    Thank you. That pedestrian way where that was filmed is called Fore Street and I must walk up and down the length of it at least four times a week . What is nicest is that you get to know everybody, and stop and chat constantly. At our age that is a perfect way to pass the time. The council are...

    The Summerwine.net music thread

    Watching a documentary about Simon and Grafunkel, there was a bit in there about the bass player they used for the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album, and the bassist was talking about having to find and then learn (almost on-the-fly) the 8-string bass guitar. Me, I'd never heard of such an...
