That said sandwiches wrapped neatly in greeseproof paper and then expertly inserted into a Tupperware lunch box do have a certain charm. I thought I had it sorted, but now I'm not so certain.

Also a huge flask (not of the twist and pour variety) and we will be sharing Tunnocks tea cakes and some much needed laughter. Indeed I plan to laugh so much that I snort tea through my nose, which if done correctly should be the cause of even more hilarity!Many Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732551151566260424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107938531564502891.post-41898333675801742622012-04-17T20:40:32.574+01:002012-04-17T20:40:32.574+01:00'English Medieval Graffiti' - now that is ...'English Medieval Graffiti' - now that is a book I might have to read. Are you taking an air-gun, or do Webley make pipe tobacco these days? <br /><br />I have a friend (no names) who is a distinguished stained-glass artist, and he always takes an air-pistol with him on holiday. He wanders around old churches, admiring the glass, but before he leaves the area, he goes back at night and outs out a couple of lights with the pistol.<br /><br />He leaves it a couple of weeks before writing to the Diocese to offer his services, and - hey presto - they usually take him up on his restoration offer.<br /><br />It pays for his holiday, but I cannot condone the practice.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.com
