Morning it has turned grey here, I won't count how many shades there are.

We just had to rush out and grab the onions that were busy sunbathing on the seats as it has just started raining.

We have been out walking all day with friends. Beautiful summer's day and nice and warm.

I came home with several donated saws an oil stone, a mallet and some fine chisels.

You sound to have got a good deal. Was FF a willing participant in this exchange?

I have various saws, chisels, hammers and sanders that I could exchange for @Fab Foodie.

For the best edge I'd recommend Japanese water stones, I could shave with my chisels if I wanted.

Now where's that photos of you and that very attractive young lady....

It made me chuckle.
Could you ask your weatherman/ woman to organise some nice weather for your area at the weekend please?

should be dry at least, although the met office is only 15 miles away they still tend to get it wrong

I have no recollection of this occurring, mind you I can tell it was taken on the Saturday night and I'd been drinking steadily (but pretty much non-stop) since I'd got to the festival on Thursday morning at 7.30am (before I'd got the tent up)

With apologies to peeps on this thread that reside in foreign climes, did anyone watch "Countryfile" on BBC yesterday evening? They showed a fascinating series of short pieces about the artisans on the "Dartmoor Artisan Trail". This is an new trail that highlights local people who are weaving, dyeing fabric, growing food organically, printing pictures etc.

I particularly liked the Blacksmith. He used to be a IT engineer in London. I wonder if he needs an assistant.

@dave r - please let me know how you get on with your new bar bag. When I eventually get back to cycling, I will need a small bag for carrying the essentials.
