    Siting on a snow covered highway in Canada because the semi at the front decided not to put chains on. RCMP just walked past, so looks like there’ll be trouble!

      I will do, we’re storm watching. It wasn’t the plan, but you roll with it on this coast! If you come to the island, let me know :)

      We’re on Vancouver  Island, we’ve just arrived in Tofino. A good website to keep an eye on is drivebc , it has all the road issues for the entire province.

    Found myself in the town of Haworth today, it seems to be a little town in Yorkshire that is set in the 1950s.

     

    First went to a pub where I had a beef stew with dumplings, then to an old sweet shop a'top of t'hill, then a walk near the cemetary where all I could hear were birds and sheep.

     

    Thing is, if you closed your eyes you could hear steam engines whistling and chuffing away in the distance, very strange, very strange indeed.   Mrs W told me to forget about the imaginary train noises and focus on the countryside.....

      I once walked from my old house in Heptonstall to Howarth on a sunny day. Getting onto the tops, I seem to remember seeing a load of book sculptures. It's beautiful up there.

    Why would a hotel chain allow its accountants to let customers know what they think of them through the quality of the toilet rolls?

      One-ply that you can read through is the worst. Aaaaand, you end up using 2-3 times as much!

      Did you lend it to someone? Is there a fine for late return? Isn't this forum supposed to be non political?

    Some of my friends have sent me pivate message asking if I'm ok due to a lack of modeling updates. At the moment my wife is very ill, I wont dwell on what it could be as were not sure and are just keeping our fingers crossed that its not the worst case scenario. She is due an operation next Tueday which we hope might be the start to clearing it up but as you can all imagine all my time has been focused on looking after her at the moment. Thanks again for all the good wishes. Steve
