Do you really make bread every morning?? Or just the first day of the month?


I'm taking the rest of the day off to get my FirstView pic!

Thanks chaps. Better not talk 'bout it any more as this is FirstView, not appraisal or exhibition stuff

I hired this lens specifically for my Wildlife module, but I'm liking it too much already. Very sharp even wide open and I do like the OOF bits. The missus will go bonkers if I don't finish the shower room off this month though Hiring lenses is a slippery slope

Of course the Chinese and Indians got there first, but terms of the nothern counties I don't think Taylors were casting envious eyes over the backbone of Britain when they first blended the nation's finest tea.

Which came first? Yorkshire Tea of Lancashire Tea? Which is the original and which is the third rate imposter? I think we all know, but for thoe who don't listen here.

So did my dad. I've never understood why they named a breed of horse after it, though.
