Couldn’t put the golly on the jar now though. How times have changed!

I've seen Eric Pollard in Waitrose as well! He's moved from Norwell now.

The last time I saw him he was running a wine bar in Trinity Square. He ultimately had a printing and box making company in the old Bairns Wear factory.

I think most people live in a barn in Norwell. It's that sort of place! Eric Pollard from Emmerdale used to live there and you may remember Jeremy Gisborne, Margie, from Arno Vale school days, who resides there.

I'll look that up Margie. Our daughter lives in a barn conversion in Norwell. A very beautiful village in a conservation area.

Nearby but not on the route. Straight up the A1 through Cromwell once I've passed through Kelham and Muskham. I know Laxton well. They still have the open field farming system. I always feel a bit 'iffy' when I see the sign 'Welcome to the Holocaust Centre'.

I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else despite the hardships and sacrifices of rural living. I look out of the bedroom window across our green meadow to the Trent Hills in the distant. No sign of human life. I’ve driven to places as far apart as Bingham and Tuxford today. I’m going to Norwell tomorrow; if anyone knows where that is.

Netherfield isn’t particularly agricultural. More chance of catching those diseases out here!

I’ve only got a moderately sore arm after walking out of the surgery without waiting for 15 minutes. Heaven knows what germs I might have picked up by sitting shoulder to shoulder with the good people of Netherfield!

It’s been discontinued like so many products that used to be effective. Perhaps now we’re out of Europe it may return. You can now buy pork chops with a kidney in. They were banned under EEC regs for mixing meat with offal.

I had a chat with him once in the newsagents at Heathrow airport. He was wearing a hugh fluffy teddy bear fur coat.

I’m talking distances of over ten miles offered to me. Only reachable by car or a three mile walk to a ‘bus stop and then make my own way from Nottingham. Trains infrequently stop here during the day.

Much further away than you expected I would guess. The system is not 'user friendly.

I left immediately after the jab because the chairs in both the waiting and recovery areas were closely packed together; far closer than the recommended social distance. People were sitting shoulder to shoulder. I thought it was disgraceful for a medical establishment.

I’ve just had mine at a swish new medical centre in Netherfield. It looks out of place surrounded by the rows of terraced houses. Nowhere to park on site of course. I had to wait 45 minutes beyond my allotted time and then they told me I had to sit down for 15 minutes. ‘No way’, I said and cleared off. I was given Pfizer again like my previous two doses. They told me it was the most effective. I didn’t argue. The booster arrangements are a shambles compared with the efficient appointments I attended previously. I now find, on the grapevine, that they are doing jabs at Brackenhurst College, abo

Well we’re all curious now of course!

Will there be still be wheels on my car when I leave?

The initial roll out of injections was done efficiently and smoothly. The booster jab is being done in a very haphazard way. I've got to go to Netherfield to get mine. There seems to be nothing in the Southwell area.

I like both Brie and Camembert but I have an embargo on all things French at the moment!

A farmer friend committed suicide by hanging in a shed a few years ago. He did have a tendency to be unbalanced from time to time but he was a lovely chap when things were stable. I’ve known two other members of the farming community around here who committed suicide. It seems not that uncommon amongst among farmers. Another old friend of many years shot himself with a pistol a couple of years ago and the son of friends killed himself in his car with exhaust gas some thirty years ago. All over a girlfriend who had been murdered by another. There has also been two suicides in our village in rec

The best Stilton for me comes from Colston Basset diary, closely followed by nearby Cropwell Bishop. The most prolific producer seems to be Long Clawson but their Stilton is slightly bitter to my taste.

Just been round IKEA with wife and daughter - say no more! Now sitting in car as they've gone in to TK Max. Why do people punish themselves so much? Just eaten a disgusting IKEA hot dog as well. Ugh!

I believe stats/timers produced after 2007 have the daylight saving time cancellation feature.

I gather that ST can close the bridge ‘whenever it is expedient to do so’ so I don’t think there is an annual one day closure to demonstrate their rights anymore.

Didn’t it used to be closed for one day a year to establish that there was no right of way easement?
