Been very busy getting ready for weekend. gazebo up, grass cut, BBQ cleaned and helped them strim down by the river so folk can see the horses ford the water. Meat to collect tomorrow then ice to collect for the tin bath. Nearly done thank goodness. Hope weather holds but not looking to promising.
We have a tin bath too for parties but I prefer fizz to beer. Never liked beer. It's one of those galvanised jobbies and I painted it black. Might just repaint it and decorate it and drill a few holes for a planter instead.
Glad you're sleeping better Hosta and hope all the chestikovs are better too. Mine's still tight but better than it was so admin and supermarket this morning then gardening this pm. I have my gardening group coming on teh 28th so desperately need to get things sorted.
Hope you get to Norfolk OK Busy.

Morning all,
Been very busy getting ready for weekend. gazebo up, grass cut, BBQ cleaned and helped them strim down by the river so folk can see the horses ford the water. Meat to collect tomorrow then ice to collect for the tin bath. Nearly done thank goodness. Hope weather holds but not looking to promising.

Ok so these are some pics from the common ridings past.
Pic 1 is the Standard Bearer casting the flag.
Pic 2 is the cavalcade heading down the green, usually about 300+ horses
Pic 3 is a common riding saying "Souters aye return tae Selkirk when the roses bloom again"
Pic 4 is Fletcher. He was the only Selkirk man to return from the battle of flodden.
Hope the pics come out.
You've been busy Bushman. Great photographic record of how you've spent your time.
