The men's pond is not so hedged around and is connected to great swathes of grassy areas where they can take as much space as they wish to lounge around in their budgie-smugglers. The women's pond is secreted within many layer of trees and hedges, these are necessary to protect the ladies from the constant surveillance they experience when out in the normal world. Bathing is permitted in three of the ponds one is for everyone, one is for women only and one is for men - guess which is the biggest? and guess by what factor female swimmers outnumber men?* The ponds were made centuries ago by damming up the river Fleet to provide drinking water for the area. I'm staying in London, not far from Hampstead Heath and its famous ponds.

He was hosted by a Mormon couple who sent him home loaded with gifts for me, these included:Ī tiny white origami box filled with dried, sliced plumsĪ very beautiful oil painting of an evening landscapeĢ) I bought some new everyday shoes to replace my very-old-and-collapsed everyday shoes, they are a bit hard though and the breaking-in process is making my feet bleed

My investigation discovered a wood recycling yard near my swimming lake that is already making inexpensive coffins from reclaimed pallet planks, they will modify the design slightly to make them a little sleeker - I expect to display a photo here before too long.ġ) The Man went to Utah to visit Bryce Canyon National Park, which is full of geological formations known as Hoodoos. This year my 'coffin project' was to find/make a 'Bristol Coffin' for my neighbourhood funeral parlour* - locally made from a sustainable wood source, one that will be no more expensive than the eco-nasty-cheapie MDF coffins sold by most funeral directors. This time last year I was decorating some very modern bio-plastic 'Koffins' in Liverpool. This is my second year of getting involved with coffins around Halloween time. He is expected to squeak home just minutes before Christmas. Twenty years is apparently a China anniversary and I'm not sure whether we should be buying plane tickets or a dinner service to mark the event, he is currently working in California trying to avoid being eaten by pumas. Today is the winter solstice, this one marks twenty years since I said 'I do' to The Man, I've written more about this here.

I've returned from the shops with a few drumsticks and a pig's trotter, I will have to invent a Fingers-Crossed Gravy. Get Ahead Gravy involves chicken wings - it turns out that I wasn't the only one watching Jamie because every last wing in the country has already gone to Gravyland. At the beginning of the week I watched Jamie Oliver demonstrate 'Get Ahead Gravy' - the surefire way to guarantee the Christmas meal is a smash hit. This year a roast turkey will be my contribution to the family Christmas table, I shall get up at 5am to get it cooked, then transfer the hot bird into an insulated, leak-proof box and drive it for two hours up the motorway where it can join a selection of roast potatoes and vegetables on the festive dinner table.īringing the bird means that I must also provide stuffing and gravy.
