At last I got round to making my first batch of jam this year.
I decided to make strawberry jam for a change.

On Sunday when I was going to the local corner shop from Geoff’s.
A Romanian girl, called Anna, stopped me and asked me if I could help her.

I have been twittering for around 18 months now, and have always thought I was the only twitterer in Norfolk.

She now lives in part of Overton [...]

A few days earlier they had bought some disposable BBQ’s from Tesco.

The manager explained that they don’t come with meat but the couple was sure they did because [...]

I have one of those wireless door bells, don’t know why because no one ever comes to my house.
But all night long the bell goes ding dong, we are so used to it now, that we just ignore it.
So if anyone was to come to our house, we would never answer the door.
I have [...]

In May 2007 I spent some time bonding with my eldest son.
It started my great love affair with Prison Break and Wentworth Miller.
Since then we have tried on several occasions to catch season 2 on UK TV Gold but have always failed in our attempts.
Finally last weekend I found Prison Break season 2, the whole [...]
