We've been scouting for a suitable roof material for the botch greenhouse...but thus far...nowt in local skips! Why can you never find crappy old UPVC windows when you need em?
So we've been dingying on Coniston again, terracing the allotment and today visited White Scar Caves in North Yorkshire...............I was impressed when I was eight....less so today...£7-50 to bend double up a slippy cave system whilst being wittered at by a deranged guide.....glad I robbed a fossil last time I came now.
We are gearing up a large posse for The Horse Fair which starts Thursday. Travellers from all over the country are on their way to Appleby to show off, race and sell their horses, plan weddings, sing, gamble, gossip, fight and do all the deals that need to be struck at a place which just for a few days becomes free, run in the old ways subject to no laws...there being precious few such places and times left... Will post photos next week.. Can't wait..though I know it will make me itch to get a pony and a waggon and hit the road...in fact the poacher and I have discussed it..... neither of us wants the rat race.....and fancy the nomadic life for a year or two......To be self sufficient on the road though I might have to rethink the vegetarian diet......
The jill is pregnant...so I'll have me own polecat ferret soon !!
