Brilliant book, tydi? For those not in the know it's COld Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. Read it and weep! (with laughter). And yes, I'll do an article, when I can work out how to put pics on the site!
Fantastic, I'll hold you to that . No need to worry too much about getting the pics on the site, you can pm or email them to me and I'll get my lovely assistant (Treacodactyl) to sort them out (I'm at least as bad as you with pics...the ones I put up for the wind power article had a huge white background too ) and go in the article.
What does "tydi" mean....I've looked it up on Google and can only find "thou" in Welsh, is it Welsh? or am I being daft?
Cold Comfort Farm is a fantastic book, definitely in my top 10, and I even like the film well enough; in fact, it's very nearly relevant to this site, perhaps I'll do a review of it.

Mochyn - proggie mat, that's the name!!!!!!!
I'll be interested to see how you do. They were pretty hardwearing, those rugs.
Ah, I'm just remembering my grandma in her kitchen, she had a range and she would make some lovely triangular scones and stottie cakes and she wouldn't be stingy with the butter - there'd be about half inch thickness of butter in the middle of them - scrummy!!

'Tydi': nearest equivalent is 'isn't it'.
The footstool is taking shape: I've stripped off the old string and got the hessian on and am now onto the first row of covering. I decided on denim as it's hard wearing and I've got several pairs of the old chaps worn out jeans. So, tasteful shades of blue and green. Looking good, and I'm photographing every step! And I've just mended a shelf I've been on at him to mend for two years. Ask a busy woman, eh?!
