Well, I should have been at TINGS this weekend. However, I was prudent and decided not to go with this shoulder. Probably a good thing as I am meant to be doing exercises several times a day which would have … Continue reading →

A morning (that turned into most of the day) out to Bexhill with Allan and the Derek’s seemed a good idea.  We had a pleasant run down to the show along the leafy, and mainly secondary, roads.  The Bexhill show … Continue reading →
