Thanks Taylor, I felt like I was on parole!Jack that soup looks phenomenal! Glad you got to get outside of the house. We finally have some weather coming tomorrow. Snow and rain!
Thank you good sir, you may be able to find other pics from the Armouries, in this thread, with the search functionLoved the armoury pics, as well, Jack! Thank you for sharing.
(My inner Star Wars nerd is pleased as well).
Fantastic pic TaylorThrew this in my pocket. Big “storm” rolling through tomorrow, so I got an extra load of fire wood to the house. I’m excited because it’s the first weather we have come through in a while. We had a great start to our winter season. Hopefully this is a sign of a wet end of winter and spring.

Thank you Barrett, I noticed that about the church in Wells. I think it's only down to your good self that I even know where Hot Fuzz was filmed (though I have watched the 'extras')I'm glad nobody was injured. Great pics my friend

I didn't realise that was still there!Sad it was wrecked though
It reminded me of something similar I used to see in Sheffield as a kid

When I entered the museum, the kind lady on the door asked me if I was a Star Wars fan, as they had a display for the school holidays. I told her I had a friend who was a fan, thinking ofJohnDF

I took a few more pics inside the museum, but it was very busy, and several of the galleries had been temporarily re-purposed

I'm not sure what the rest of the week will bring. I've read there are FIVE named storms still on their way, and due to arrive this week, but we'll see![]()

I’ve had a couple of good meads. One was a pomegranate flavored one that was pretty sweet. It was almost like pomegranate wine, I believe it was something like 11% alc. I’m gonna attempt to add some cherries to our brew. We will see how it goes!!My condolences, John. I hope you got to do something fun for at least part of your day off!
Oh, how cool! I’ve brewed plenty of beer, but never made a mead. Nor tasted one for that matter.Please do keep us posted.
I’m just back from a long weekend trip up to Bend, Oregon. We were treated to beautiful—and, I’m assuming, unseasonably warm—weather for most of our stay. This morning it was 27F when we left and we drove through two hours‘ worth of mostly light snow before we broke clear. Fortunately everyone on the roads was driving responsibly.
While we were there, my wife made some chocolate donuts. I showed one earlier, but here is another in its full tasting experience, accompanying a local coffee stout.

Thanks palI always love everything about that picture.![]()
That's what I thought!

I was hoping to get down that way in 2020 BarrettThanks, Jack. I’d say Wells is definitely worth a visit if you’re ever down that way.
That's sadI believe that statue was moved to Simon Pegg’s home after they finished the film. I imagine it wasn't exactly made to last, but it’s still a shame.
Interesting sculpture on the building there. I googled it and saw that it was meant to be the Roman god Vulcan, which is certainly fitting for Sheffield.
Thank you my friendGreat photos from the Royal Armory, Jack.
Hate to see the flooding. Hope everything dries out soon enough.
Yeah, they've certainly picked a few odd ones!They’re going to run out of names!![]()
Good luck, it sounds deliciousI’ve had a couple of good meads. One was a pomegranate flavored one that was pretty sweet. It was almost like pomegranate wine, I believe it was something like 11% alc. I’m gonna attempt to add some cherries to our brew. We will see how it goes!!
Fantastic photo TaylorThinking about the coast and fresh oysters! Oh and a cold brew!

That's sadThere is a more classical statue of Vulcan atop Sheffield Town Hall, and the god is widely referenced in the city. The Sheffield coat of arms also includes Thor, but he never seems to get a mention.

During World War Two, after the Sheffield Blitz, some enterprising character installed a telescope on the steps of Sheffield City Hall, so that people could survey the bombed city, for the cost of a penny. It proved extremely popular with buffer girls and women steel workers, who realised they could get a perfect view of the Vulcan statue, and since he is shown naked, refresh their view of anatomy
Thank you my friendMe too, but it's raining again I'm afraid
