Out wandering at 5.30am in the nearby lanes in the coolness of the morning with the dog and I see this wall and I hadn’t noticed it has a drain pipe coming out of it and I wondered did anyone drive, walk past it and know their dad/grandad built it? (Yeah I know, very random thoughts).

our family built a few houses locally and mum loved to point them out when I was a kid and I always go down a particular lane which is slightly out of my way to look at the house my grandads dad built and my grandad grew up in.

wondered if anyone is related to Isambard Kingdom Brunel and went to visit his bridges etc. (I love the Bristol suspension bridge).

What I liked about the design of the After Eight box were the flaps at either end.

As you munched your way slowly through a box, leaving the empty envelopes in place, you eventually reached a point when you ruffled through all EMPTY envelopes, and were swamped in sadness that there were no more chocolates left.
But then suddenly you would remember the flaps! And sure enough, hidden under each flap would be one or two pieces of deliciousness.

So the design of the box cleverly prolonged the enjoyment of the contents. Total brilliance!

Sadly I don't eat After Eights anymore, as they've changed so much, and aren't as delicious as they were in the good old days.

Oh yes, I remember the fabulousness of finding those extra mints too.

I’ve been to Tattershall castle and we bought amazing chocolates in a shop locally and went to a wonderful old fashioned cinema somewhere in a wood (I think)

Kinema in the woods in Woodall Spa! Fabulous area.

Yep, PP is correct - Kinema in the Woods. You can also go to the Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa and see where the Dambusters squadron used to hang out (or you used to be able to - I haven't been for years)
