I don't drink much beer theses days but his Golden Pipin is one of the best that I have ever tasted

No Amateur

The hansome chap with Sheila is Roger Lee. He is the artist who painted the picture which is hung on our Lounge Wall.. He is a batchelor and lives alone and doesn't even have a telelevision

Re-emergence of the Sycamores

Nothing to do with the above

but my claim to fame

is that I played Cribbage

with the Maharani of Cooch Behar

and it was he who taught me the

expression "Morgan's Orchard"

which is the same as saying

" A couple of Pairs"

Sundial in Central Brighouse

This sundial reminds me of the system which we saw in Ragistan

which was called Janta Manta

It was built in the 1750's and could measure time to 1 third of a minute

Although I am first and foremost

a Unitarian, I do enjoy going to

the Central Methodist Church in Brighouse

Sheila and I were the first couple to be married there on the 27th of April 1984 when thetwo methodist Churches combined

Latest State of the Vineyard

Monday the 8th of June and I have been and sprayed the vines for the second time . Roy Birch told me that they should be done every three weeks, the soluble sulphur was suplied by the Federation Secretary Bob Morton .

Hopefully we should get a reasonable crop

National Guild of Judges

Just to put the record straight, although there has been a lot of banter over the years, I have no problem with the National Guild of Judges

My problem is the way the heirarchy of the Circle/Federation/National is Organised . The National runs itself as a more or less independant organisation. Or that is how I see it

Politics

Normally I dont use this medium for Politics
But I do feel strongly about a couple of matters

President Obama will be a good influence in the relationship between the west the Muslim Countries

Michael Martin should never have been made to resign over the expenses job

The Queen should have been invited to take part in the D DAy celebrations, Prince Charles is just not enough and hoping that I do not upset my " French viewers" their attitude is typically French

The general election should not be rushed but allowed to take its course,
It really doesnt matter what you Ploitics are
But Gordon Brown is not really to blame

Now I have got it off my chest I will hopefully not return to politics again
