  1. I think it was Lobby Lud originally Barrie but he was way before my time. I am intrigued by him but I can't find any reference. He might overnight in Rog's shed if he gets that far tomorrow.
  2. I think he must have lunched in the Bromley as he hadn't covered much distance whilst we were in Newark. My wife spotted him at the top of Highcross hill yesterday afternoon.
  3. He seemed quite happy acknowledging toots from passing cars!
  4. There’s a bearded Scotsman in full highland dress, complete with sporran and a walking staff, hiking along the roads in the Trent Valley. I saw him near Fiskerton early this afternoon and then again later going up Brinkley Hill towards Southwell. Probably quite harmless but he looks a bit incongruous round here. He’s got a map attached to the back of his rucksack. Keep a lookout if you’re in the area!
  5. Wouldn’t want to be caught in flagrante delicto would we?
  6. The sort of people who came round last ‘open gardens’ I would prefer to see them clothed!
  7. I’m pleased to say that the lake has finally gone from the end of the field. I’ve just been down on the quad to inspect it. It’s a brown patch but not muddy. The first plants springing up are buttercups but it looks like it’s going to recover and there should be another crop of hay in the summer. There’s no ‘open gardens’ in the village this year so we won’t have naturists viewing the wild flowers. Should that be naturalists?
  8. When I die I want to go like my grandfather. Peacefully in my sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.
  9. My pub shed would be ‘in vitrio’!
  10. It’s a long time since I had a cravat and I was blackballed for having a clip-on dickie bow.
  11. You could call it ‘The Lincolnshire Poacher’, or has that name already been taken?
  12. I have the concrete base of an old greenhouse next to my sheds (yes I have two). I’ve been contemplating for a long time of erecting a shed which I could turn into a cosy saloon bar with padded benches and a roaring log fire. No longer would I have to go down to the local and mix with the people of the village. It’s just a pipe dream at the moment but I am interviewing for barmaids.
  13. Wait ‘till Rog starts gourmet lunches in his shed!
  14. When are you going to be let back into the house Rog?
