Am I correctly or erroneously tending to associate Cambridge more than Oxford with royals who get university degrees?
If so, it's unexpected to me that the latter would be listed before the former. But then perhaps it's respect to elders ...

Rushes

Single use plastic is being seen as wasteful, harmful to wildlife and therefore unacceptable. Long-lasting plastics, such as Lego, will continue to be used. But plastics derived from fast-diminishing oil will fade out naturally.

Steampunk Bathroom Ideas
Revisiting your wizzley brought to mind something that I'd meant to say with the first reading.

Create A Steampunk Kitchen
Revisiting your wizzley caused me to remember something that I find so compelling about the steampunk kitchen.
Me too, I deem as particularly important the sink area. I hadn't thought about an apron or farmer's sink before. In particular, I ...

Light Weight Artificial Landscaping Rocks

As a British friend of America I would find such a day strange,but I would instead encourage Americans to stand up and speak proudly in their countrys defence when people belittle it. You have much to be proud of.

Pilgrimage: the Road to the Scottish Isles: a review
No, they stayed in small hotels. They did not forage, and they had some basic provisions, especially for the night in the bothy, but mostly they ate in the hotels where they stayed. I don't think that it would be easy to exactly duplicate a ...

Real ale pubs and bars in Carrington, Nottingham
SteveRogerson, Thank you for product lines, pretty pictures and practical information.
In particular, it's interesting that the Gladstone considers as ways of passing time dart games and reading books!
Would there be an overlap in the ales that ...
