@Giles:

I've never been teachers pet before, but if I had known how to do it, 50 years ago, I would have pimped my mother to get one of these…...

G. OMFG!!!! A Blue Peter badge. I would have pimped myself in the 1970's to get one of those. I also sent in numerous pics to Vision On in the hope that I would see it in The Gallery……alas in never happened.

Music to my ears…...I have got a brilliant plan for the oak.  I'm going build an Oak framed lean-to thingy for the garden of the office.  I will name it the Boule pavilion.

Along the lines of this....

First though, I'll build a smaller version at home for a log store (talking of logs )

[rocket]

I like that…

[harley dave]

i will try and get down soon with the trailer so i can bring some longer lengths and do you want me to cut and split the wood for you , or is this a good excuse to buy  a log splitter and do some lumberjacking ?

A 1970s take on the smart watch / mobile phone.

Ironically the front cover had something closer to the Apple Watch on it.

I remember reading this book when I was at primary school. I want a cool, Chris Foss style future. Instead we got Beijing…

^ I had a similar book in my childhood … the most is reality now (except the space colonies  )
