Between the wars

I was a miner, I was a docker
I was a railway man between the wars
I raised a family in times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry between the wars

During one of our visits to Costco I picked up a bag of "Wonder Berries". These were to be used in my porridge once the raisins ran out. A change is as good as a rest.

On the back was a recipe for Wonder Berry Flapjacks, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Full of berry goodness, full of seedy goodness, full of datey goodness, full of oaty goodness....but, set against 200g of butter, 50g of honey, and a tin of condensed milk. Probably a draw (ahem).

A couple of weeks ago, you may remember we went to the TUC march in Manchester. On the day I took a load of pictures of Billy Bragg who opened the event. I really quite liked a few of them and thought I'd get one printed up on really nice art paper, and mounted. Having had that thought, I had another, I wonder if I could get Billy to sign the mount for me.

A few eMails between me and those nice people at Bragg Central (http://www.billybragg.co.uk/index.php) and ....today I went to Frames in West Didsbury to pick up my signed, mounted and framed Billy Bragg concert pic. Thanks to Tracey for modelling it.

 That Billy Bragg is a very nice man.
