Let us pray the weather is kind to us. Then down to the village for some Bathams therapy with Talbot on the look out for some scratchings or Black Country spicy biltong.
A blog of life and the goings on around Bromsgrove, Worcestershire - esp. the Lickey Hills and our beautiful countryside. Housman, Tolkien, Elgar - all walked these roads - all left their mark - and all loved Bromsgrove and its people.. A bit of news, gossip and history. Oh, and Harry-ca-Nab? Well, I was a legend around these parts for over a thousand years - check out my first blog in 2010 to read about me..

Chaddesley Corbett Races on Sunday...........
Point to point on Sunday. Was going to go further afield but why not just stay close to home and spend my money on beer, bangers and a bet rather than diesel.

The making of a gun
This video is just wonderful (I think..),
It displays the skills involved in bespoke gun making by the people at Verney Carron in France.
What a pity that such skills, once widespread in the Birmingham Gun Trade, are disappearing from the UK.
Enjoy.
