Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Christmas (2015) Food and Fun, and a Great Shortbread Recipe

YouTube Debut with Rambo III
Christmas has come and gone for another year. It always goes by in a flash of food, drink, and family. It’s my favourite time of the year, though not a time without stress. I love all of the preparation in the days leading up to the main event. The menu planning, shopping, sauce production, brine…
