Hi everyone.

The world has been turned upside down, without a doubt. This thought has been coming back to me over the last few days, and I finally remembered why. In one of my favourite books - Handley Cross by R.S. Surtees - the hero Mr Jorrocks is supposed to be going hunting, meeting at the pub called The World Turned Upside Down. The name turns out to be a bad omen, and the day is ruined by the weather.

I particularly like the joke near the beginning of this chapter - "Vot next? as the frog said when his tail fell off".










Well, so much for huntin'. How about fishin'?

This is what social distancing looks like in Arnside -

And for those who want to get away from it all -

And if you are wanting an excuse for making sourdough - it's simple! There's no yeast to be had for love nor money.

Ciao for now.

Pete
