A few minutes ago I typed a post about Jack Butler Yeats with images. Now I thought it was weird when there was no ‘post tags’ area, – but still, I saved it thinking that I could tag it through the ‘quick edit’.

Legless fish and other food oddities
Haworth Old Hall a lovely place to stay I had a few nice meals whilst I was away. One of them – a Venison Noisette in red wine, bacon, onion, mushroom and juniper (Haworth Old Hall) was absolutely delicious.

At the End of the Day, will the End of the Day EVER come?
I was at the computer typing away the other day, half listening to the TV to a popular day time audience participation show, where people air all their dirty washing to the world: have DNA tests done and generally get ‘advised’ and insulted by the audience. The audience participation, as well as the ‘victim’sContinue reading “At the End of the Day, will the End of the Day EVER come?”
