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..

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.
