A lot of dogs don't like vacuum cleaners, some are petrified. Not so much our dog, he's completely unfazed.

I keep hearing a lot about 'British Values', and as someone born and educated in Britain I'm not entirely sure what those values are, or who gets to decide what they are. I went to our governments website to find out, and it appears British Values are comma separated. Glad I cleared that up.

I love it when I read a book, and before I even finish it I'm already looking forward to reading more from the same writer. This is Wild Folk People from the amazing Beans on Toast and its just full of lovely stories about amazing people!

I discovered a lovely English Rum at my local today. Smelled amazing, subtle flavours, an amazing aftertaste, a real treat. Highly recommend Lugger Spiced Rum, and the Horseshoe Inn at Offord D'Arcy if you're in the Huntingdonshire area.

Loved the Make Them Pay march today in London with thousands of diverse but like minded people. Slightly confused as to why the police weren't able to stop marching bands flying the flags of various Unionist paramilitary groups (e.g. the UVF) march right through the middle of it!

Make your mind up John Lewis. Fortunately it was delivered, might be nice to include an unboxing service so people who can't lift an 11.5kg microwave out of a cupboard box, like my mother (who's in her 80's)

I love our local pub, they've managed to survive through a pandemic and now a fire which destroyed their kitchen, and they're STILL doing some of the best food in the area cooking over wood and charcoal. www.theoffordshoe.co.uk

Here's our lovely Pez enjoying the comfy sofas and chilled vibes.

So I'm a hat guy now. The high UV low rainfall weather here in the Great Ouse Valley pushed me over the edge.
