At the height of Holden’s growing automotive export program, a plan to send the first Statesman to ‘Dear Old Blighty’ began to form.
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting up with fellow bloggers Natasha and Vicky, and also for the first time got to meet Nicola, whose imagination is behind the hauntingly beautiful posts you might have seen on All the Big Trees. This lovely trio came to visit me in Leamington and I have to …

Back to Blighty is a diceless card game, which is played mainly with 4 decks of terrain cards and a player sheet. Your plane is shot down over enemy occupied France and you manage to find a French family but you cannot stay there too long you must find the safe house. 6 different pilots with different characteristics to choose from 12 different routes that must be followed. You have 4 different terrain types, Countryside, road, river and railway. Traveling by night you pick a relevant card which has a distance and time these are moved along a track. The longer you are out the more tired you become, but you must find somewhere to rest before daylight comes. some cards are German soldiers but these may be avoided if the conditions are right, if you are challenged I hope your language skills are up to scratch and that the 6 days in the outdoors isn't going to give you away. Tactical decisions include how long into the morning are you prepared to travel before you find somewhere to rest for the day, balance this with how good will you be if you were challenged by a German soldier. How far you have to travel before your safe compared to the fact the more days your out the more disheveled you look and therefor more suspicious. Other things included are crossing rivers, swimming, boat, or bridge, weather which may change half way through the night. The heavier the rain the less likely you will be challenged but the less rest you will get. Going into a town to seek resistance members but beware the Gestapo and German sympathizers. Stamina, food, blending in, stealing a German soldiers push-bike all take a role.

I was thrilled to stumble across this pillow I stitched for my dad almost 25 years ago. It’s one of the very first pieces I stitched when I returned to needlepoint in the mid-90’s.

Dear Annabelle We can't believe you are already 5 months old! Time sure flies when we are with you, but not a second is forgotten. We didn't think it…
Dear Sixteen Year Old Taylor, Oh goodness. In the past few weeks I've found myself thinking what you would do if you met me. A solid part of me actively believes you might pass out from excitement if not shock. I can remember how during the Christmas season of your sophomore year in high school…
When I returned to the UK in May of last year, I found the transition to be quite jarring in terms of legally permissible EDC knives. In Canada I quite happily carried anything I damn well pleased, as the legislation is so vague (knives are legal, weapons are not – the cop gets to decide...Read More »
