Laverbread (without oatmeal!), cockles fried with bread crumbs, local bacon & maybe even a sausage or two is the breakfast of Gods…one of my most favourite meals since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Swansea Market for the win👍 Add a few welshcakes, and a bara planc (covered in salty local butter)

Looking cold overnight next week - even in London (normally a few degrees warmer than Kent, Sussex and the Home Counties)

I barely drink these days … maybe a Christmas or birthday glass of wine. A full bottle is way too much for me in my own…so one to share with friends and family I think

I don’t think this one has hit 20 years yet (more like 10 years old) - but we have a 2nd tree in storage that is close to 20 years old & still going strong, should my wife have a need for a 2nd dose of festive spirit somewhere else in the house (we do have a 3rd tree up permanently all year😳)

Artificial trees are a much easier proposition…and allow early deployment of festive fun (although the jury is still out on whether I’d call 24x7 festive Christmas tunes ‘fun’😁😂)

Had Janet dialup access around mid-80s - and had dial up access to the ULCC network at that time. I think our ADSL usage started in 2000 with one of the BT Alcatel stingray modems
