Apologies in advance if this post ends up being a bit like the parish newsletter today, but there are a few things I’d to tell you about, even though they aren’t entirely related.  So bear with me, and the flower rota will be at the end. Firstly and also excitingly, the BPMA have also got [...]

This 1957 design by Huveneers has already come up on the Advent Calendar here, and now you can have your own if you like.  Bidding starts at a moderately steep £22 (well I think it’s steep given that [...]

Door 10

By crownfolio | Published: December 10, 2010

As promised, a chicken.  It’s not often you come across a Christmas Chicken, but that’s definitely what we’ve got here. Every time I look at it, my brain says Easter, but the words very definitely say Christmas.   Most peculiar.
