We managed to get a couple of portions of broad beans from the four we planted.
There’s possibly another meals worth still to pick.
We’re not quite Tom & Barbara Good yet.

I have bought a USB turntable so I have been spending the last few days digitizing all my old vinyl records.
They have been in a box in the loft of every house i’ve lived in for the past 15 years & I have wanted to have a listen to them for ages, Thinking that they would bring back fond memories.
Unfortunately what has been running through my mind the most is the fact that I haven’t half bought some crap in my time.
There were quite a few Stock Aitken Waterman type songs (well I was a teenager in the ’80′s so you can’t really blame me for that) & some decent club anthems too (yes, I was a raver too!)
The very 1st record I ever bought was in the box too. ‘Motor Bike Beat‘ by The Revillos. Bought 21 years ago & I still knew every word.
I cannot remember the last time, if there ever has been a time, that a story in the news has actually made me cry.
The story of 29 year old Kevin Davies makes me want to weep each time I hear about it. Kevin, who suffered from epilepsy, was held prisoner in a shed for 4 months. He was starved, beaten and burned, he was even forced to make a hostage style video by his captors. One of them kept a diary containing details of the abuse dealt out to him.
He died on September 26th 2006. Yesterday 3 people were convicted of assault and false imprisonment. Charges of murder against them were dropped as it couldn’t be proved that Kevins death wasn’t caused by his epilepsy, although experts said this was highly unlikely.
2 of the guilty were sentenced to 10 years, the other received 9 years. They will probably only serve half their given time.
It saddens me to think that these 3 will enjoy more comfort in their incarceration than they allowed Kevin in his.
I hope they receive the welcome they deserve when they arrive in their cells.
Went to Ikea at Warrington last night to see what was in the sale, which was nothing worth having, but I did find a pound coin down the back of one of the sofas.
Yippee!!
