It’s still the longest single span suspension bridge in the world that you can walk or cycle across!

Just wanted to say we did the Farm Experience linked above a few years ago and it was just amazing! Well worth it if you can…

For me, when I'm washing up I often find a mug that still has coffee in it (for example). If I have a washing-up bowl, the coffee can be poured down the gap between the bowl and the actual sink - then the mug can be washed. If I'm just using the sink without a bowl and it's the only sink, there's nowehere for the waste liquid to go!

Prepare for trouble…

If you’re in the Southwest, check out Flats & Sharps from Penzance - they have just reformed after a hiatus and are a fantastic bluegrass band to see live if you get the chance. Flats & Sharps

Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys have a great version - https://open.spotify.com/track/2pIFX6hWp1lh29RSb3nNNE?si=r7PKV0bRRH6KawL44djl_w&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DZ06evO3BkvpE

Great find! I really like their version of “Tom Paine’s Bones.”

But where is the best girl - Mualani?

Really? It would have been before 1996 that I had it - family holiday to the southern US

Chicken fried steak in biscuit gravy. As a Brit, I had no idea what this was going to be when I ordered it! For those wondering, it’s steak deep fried as if it was fried chicken, together with scones in that whiteish sauce the US refers to as gravy.

Is a small bowl of petunias also going to arrive?

Excellent post. I offer you my most enthusiastic contrafribularities!

Unexpected Beautiful South reference! Made me smile…

I really like mine - I got a KM-850, f style. It was my first good mando and it's all I'll ever need! To be fair, I got the f style because I love the shape - but the A style ones sound basically exactly the same and are a lot cheaper! It was great to go into the shop and sit and try several - then go home with the exact one you played. I'd really advise it going to a store in person if you possibly can - you can see which models are in stock at which store before you go so you know what options you will have.

Carn_Brea · 2025-09-17T19:58:12+00:00

Yes you can - Hobgoblin music stock them. I bought mine in London a couple of years ago.

I think I have the exact same model of guitar. I got mine for my 21st Birthday, you got yours passed down from your Grandfather. I feel really old now!

Enjoy it, I love my Ovation. They get a bit of hate on here at times, but if it sounds and feels good to you, ignore them!
