Easter Snow

Its snowing again, last time was in 1998 for the Good Friday Agreement, one does wonder if this is in response to the Lisbon Treaty, that treasonous poisonous little deal that Gordon Brown did recently.

No wonder they want to update the treason laws.

Upto five cm of snow in places...

Seriously though is it just me or is this sceptred isle becoming a little bit like a prison?

You cant do this you cant do that Just what exactly can you do I suppose if youre an MP you can get away with lots of things because you have money, even riding the wrong way down a one way street and riding through a red light....


We'll mention no names shall we?

CCTV You proposed it now you live by it Dave.

The Bovey Tracey Incident

Many of my readers would have heard about the Bovey Tracey incident
where a mansion was wrecked by several gatecrashers, probably half of South Devon's teenagers turning up but it certainly put Bovey Tracey on the map.

I am in South Devon at present, doing a little research and development. I am staying at a very nice place called Sampsons Farm. It is a hotel, and award winning restaurant, think Masterchef and you wont go far wrong, but its more affordable than those places which is very nice and very sweet. It is my second time there, I went there three years ago at this time of the year when the buds are coming out and the blossom is present. It is a delightful place to stay, and is dog friendly and has free range chickens and free range eggs for breakfast. Its no mansion but it is older than Shakespeare, and has a nice open fire to warm you up.

The proprietor's wife is a watercolour artist and is very accomplished, having done lots of illustrations, company logos, and some very good nude work, Paintings are for sale and there are workshops and watercolours for sale at the farm. alomg with the usual eggs and ambience.

The farm is near the river Teign and is near some great walks over looking Dartmoor, and is a great base to explore Dartmoor from.

I shall be doing some farm updates in the next couple of weeks, and there is talk of some apartments being built , just a few attractive ones, on the farm that you could let out and be part of the hotel when you arent there, if of course you can bear to drag yourself away.

All in all a piece of heaven in Devon countryside. You have to go and visit You will enjoy it there and believe me if you have stayed elsewhere the welcome there will outdo the rest.

Many people who go there return year on year, I certainly did.

Can't buy me love ( everybody tells me so)

Paul:

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond rings and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't want no diamond rings and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, love,
(Can't buy me) love

Heather:

The best things in life are free
But you can keep it for the birds and bees.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
So gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Yeh gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
So gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Your lovin' give me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bill.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
So gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Yeh gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
So gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

The moment of truth is coming near, today in the High Court Justice Bennet will probably hand over a fortune to Heather Mills. Link here

Well at least hopefully things will be settled now

But it is frightening, that some of the Beatles's music is always strangely prophetic and almost written for the situation.

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo
You'll be older too, (ah ah ah ah ah)
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the isle of wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Picking Vegetables for £25000 a year

Link here

The locals signing on dont want to do the work so it falls to the immigrants.

They dont want to pick vegetables? For fucks sake, does it really matter? Its because you actually do have to do something rather than be stuck at a desk doing nothing.

A mouse in the house

 

I found this in the house. I didnt find it today I actually took the picture meaning to blog about it last month, but didnt get round to it.

Rachel ( from North London) always has her mouse saga so this is mine....

I find small snickers bars very effective.

This one must have starved to death because I was away for a few days.

Better than me despatching it I guess.

Eu Referendum Vote

The fibbers have backed down, due to Nick Clegg the government have decided against it even though it breaks their manifesto pledge and the Tories are for it.

Do we really need these turbulent bullshitters running the country?
