Cup of Tea

First real muse in quite a while … apologies that I couldn’t bring it to a more definitive conclusion …

Old News

Think this one might contain the germ of an idea about how to economise on the newspaper budget …

Who doesn’t like the fare at this time of year? (Not to be confused with the seasonal fund-raising event on the village green of course!)

Parsing

So the moral of the tale is don’t jump to conclusions … oh I see – that boat has sailed – you already have!
