We have been spending our time in Lincolnshire between two cousins, each from either side of my family. Debbie Buckland is from my mother's side.

We had dinner on Thursday night with Rob and Hilary Munday. Rob is from my father's side. He recorded the France vs Germany game so we came back to their little cottage to watch it.

| Bell for front door |
We had a free day today in Scramblesby, Lincolnshire so I decided it was time we found an antique front door knocker. We had seen as we drove through Horncastle that in 2001 it had won some title such as antique centre of England. In the intervening 15 years ago it seems to have slipped to junk shop central. We plodded through shop after shop. They had various degrees of organization. Mostly the spaces were leased by individuals so no-one knew the overall stock picture. We only found two knockers the whole day and both were incomplete and/or ugly so we bought the bell. We figured the grandsons could ring it to announce their arrival.
The boys will love the bell. You,on the other hand, may regret the purchase with the incessant ringing!
