Hello Caroline. The joy of folly-spotting is that it can be incorporated into almost any trip – I can usually find something of interest near to the homes of family or friends. But I must confess that most visits, whatever their outward reason appears to be, have an ulterior motive, a.k.a. a folly or landscape ornament. ‘Backendish’ was first overheard by a friend at a bus stop near Leeds, and has been in frequent use ever since! I hope you have some relaxing travel planned.

Backendish is such an eloquent word

Your output is phenomenal, but there’s never any sign of your taking time off, let alone flying abroad for a change of scene. We will start to emulate your use of the word ‘backhandedness’ as a precursor to taking a break ourselves. If you love your work and are permanently busy it is all too easy to forget to do so. Bonnes vacances!

Good morning Gand. We had the perfect day for exploring. The estate has been hard at work creating good paths and it is all looking rather lovely. And a cafe! What more could one want.

It rained all day and we went wrong somewhere, which didn’t help. The car steamed up all the way to Leedsas we slowly dried out. One of our early FF forays. I vowed never again. However vows are meant to be broken in some circumstances….Gand.
