WH Smith high street store sales agreed to Hobbycraft owner. The new name will be TGJones, "a made-up name deliberately styled to echo the historic WH Smith brand."

Sunday treat, a rather good porter brewed in Tod; not sure if it's with Yorkshire water and I'm proud🖐️, or Lancashire water and I should feel slightly betrayed. 🤔 Either way, a delightful beer.

A visit to Mount Grace Priory today, it's a wonderful, quiet place and one I have visited several times over the last 30 years (or so). It is the best preserved Carthusian Priory in England and worth a visit -more here: www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places...

Black Friday is approaching, but online platforms can pose risks for UK consumers who might buy substandard and potentially dangerous work-at-height products.
