Old Man’s War

The book was mention on a thread and I’ve just started to read it. I like the concept, aged over 70, sign up to the military and get a reworked enhanced 30 year old physique and health but you are immediately get sent to frontline active duty.

Neal Asher new name to some.

I’ve just finished his last book, only leaves me short stories until the next book is finished. I love his work and recommend to anyone wanting something new and fresh.

In a blind taste test could you distinguish between a well brewed tea pot loose leaf tea, and a well brewed cup with a tea bag?

I like my tea strong and believe I can most of the time.

Eyam, plague village, what a superb village.

I was fascinated to read all the plaques in the village and see the whole plague story come together as we explored the relationship with the local villages.
It’s quite magnificent and stoic how this village isolated themselves to keep the plague from spreading,
In the village a couple of good tea rooms and went back in the evening for dinner at the Miners Arms for the best steak and mushroom pie I’ve tasted for years, and an excellent local ale too.

Brown Dipper.

I’ve been in the Peak District a week and finally spotted a Dipper at Youlgrave.
