Welcome aboard, as you can see we're not always dead serious & sometimes we forget to take our meds.
hoadie: You're thinking of Wales, mate. "If you can see the hills across the valley, it's going to rain, If you can't its already raining"! Scotland has Scotch (natch) & don't forget the wily wild haggis. |

Kevin,
That living history event, Is it at Rydale folk museum? We lived over near Scarborough, so only 20 mins away. What sort of living history doings is it? Here on the farm, we have a half-built Iron -Age round -house. Sadly it's been that way a few years now! Never get time to get at it. I dug up an ancient, (well, 1923 or so) McCormick -Deering binder, and restored it. All new wood and such, so I could cut some wheat for thatching the round -house. Old binder works a treat, but TIME isn't my friend....Could cry when I think of all the stuff I want to get done...

Boyds make nice stocks, I have on on my No5. But be warned their customer service is a bit dodgy.
