I am drowning in a sea of compost and sweet peas. I've potted up 40 of the things now, so if anyone in the west of Scotland needs sweet peas, and is located within delivery distance, please let me know.

Today we blitzed (pardon the expression) a couple of pillboxes, which was fun.  One was a classic hexagonal number, with some natty gun-slits.  The other was allegedly an air raid shelter.  Which, considering the fact it was stuck in the middle of a field (!) and equipped with a number of similar gun-slits, is an interpretation I find rather unlikely. 

I had another four buildings on the wish list today, but they'd all been demolished, so that made life a heck of a lot easier!!

And next week, we venture out into the exciting realms of cordite and nitroglycerine...

Yippee!! An awfully nice lady just appeared at the door and asked if we'd be willing to complete the census.

Hey, I'm a purveyor of the past.  Of course I said yes!!!  (Swells with pride at being asked to contribute to this exercise in historical data gathering.)

And no, I won't be screwing up the results by saying 'Jedi Knight'.  Even though I am a self-confessed Star Wars fan....
