A photo of the box of envelopes or the treasurer's desk on claim day as a jigsaw, with your note at the end.

I didn’t intend today to be poking around in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine nor duct taping together a bookmarklet tool. But that’s where the afternoon took me as I am trying to get over a nasty cold. Cutting first to the end, try this out. If you know where to put them (the bookmarks […]

Give or take a leap year, we have been married 6,205 days, or 17 years, as of today. My life is pretty much divided into the sad days, and the days I have been married to her.

A thank-you for the church archivist: the registers, minute books and old photographs kept in labelled boxes in the vestry, the churchyard plan, the family history enquiries and the heritage day display.

A thank-you for the church Shrove Tuesday pancake party team: the batter mixed in the hall kitchen, the frying pans on every ring, the lemon and sugar on the tables, the pancake race in the car park.
