My dear Bomma,

I'm no shrinking violet, but when I'm at the controls of the washing machine, I rarely dare to take it over 40 for fear of talking in a squeaky voice.

Damart woolen combinations tend to.get a bit "clingy" if taken to extremes like 60 or so.

Not even Comfort is a comfort when you have to force your undercrackers on using a shoehorn and two tyre levers. yikes

Don't forget we are all here if you need any advice on matters domestic or technical.
And there is plenty of Absinthe to spare.

Any luck with the toast behind Whittle's gas turbine exhaust?

A noisy way to make toast if you ask me.
It may be noisy, but it does impart that lovely tang of kerosene first thing in the morning. lickcloud9

The longjohns are indeed whirling away, looking through the window thing they appear to be holding up remarkably well.

I'll report back as soon as it finishes.
Good God man, how long is this wash cycle?

Have your longjohns turned into smalls yet?

I'm looking for a waterproof backpack around 30l with the chest strap to keep the straps from sliding, I can find really cheap tat, I can find stupidly expensive ones, I can find them with or without the strap, but I can't find one which is reasonably priced, with straps and separate inner compartments!!! grumpy

Oohhh I've been looking at the Berghaus ones, is that the twentyfour/seven one? What do you think of it and is it water proof?

Haverhill?

It's pronounced "Aive-riw" by the indigenous locals.

It is a bit council.


OK, a lot council. frown



It is a gem of a pearl of an idyllic pastoral retreat set in the Gog-Magog hills near the Essicks/ Suffick border.

See the rave reviews on TripAdvisor. smile


The A1307 is the main road and is recorded as a very high casualty risk route.
It is very badly congested each morning and evening.

Haverhill is the largest town in the UK with no railway station. ( It used to have two )

In November 2004, Haverhill made a claim for a world first, becoming the only known town to feature a laser-lit sculpture on a roundabout. The 11-metre (36 ft) high steel sculpture, called the Spirit of Enterprise (or by locals as "the bin", or "the Haverhill toilet roll"), is situated on the main gateway roundabout on the west side of town, and was mostly funded by local businesses.
