The People You Meet In Pubs!!!
Diane and I went for a few drinks in The Grey Hound in Broughton last night where we met the local Buffalo Farmer, Daegan and his friend Jaroslav (Pictured below) and what an interesting night it turned out to be!!!Jaroslav is an artist who originates from Prague. He came to London as a visitor in 1968, during his 10 day visit, the Russian tanks rolled in to Prague, shut the borders, and Jaroslav never went back. In effect he escaped the ...

We are now, on Christmas Eve, surrounded by slush and mud, which looks a bit depressing after all the snow, but at least people can now get around, which for most is a god send, but for some a bit of a blow, as it would have been an ideal excuse not to visit Auntie Maud on Christmas Day. I have a bit of rushing around to do, but I have ...
