7th March 2024 - Erin Passes Driving Test

Thought for the day :"Sitting in A & E. Don't want to go into details but "Dyson Ball Cleaner" is a very misleading product name" 

Rain 47 : Dry 19

Bag 16.

So a good week for the Keens. Yesterday was exchange date and today Erin passed her driving test.

Well done Erin 

A rare dry day again - though not sunny like yesterday and a lot colder. Was definitely a Glove Day for the dog walk.

Picture from the Aberteifi Concalve from last Thursday has made its way to media so include it here.

But got the camera out as I walked the dogs and checked the gardens 

In other news:

On 7th March 1695, Sir John Trevor from the Brynkinalt estate near Chirk in Denbighshire, Speaker of the House of Commons, was expelled for taking a bribe of 1000 guineas (£1.6 million in 2009). He remained the only Speaker to be forced out of office until Michael Martin resigned in 2009.

Interestingly, Trevor was severely cross-eyed, which caused confusion as to which MP had 'caught the Speaker's eye' and led to many of them speaking out of turn.

Cheers !
