An un-chuted chute....

.....continuing my fascinating and hugely popular series on coal chutes of St Boswells, here is a brilliant example of an un-chuted chute. The owner had no comment for the press so the precise reason for this de-commissioning will remain secret for now. I'll leave no stone unturned in my pursuit of the truth. 

Earlier, I woke thinking about the estimate for the roof tiles replacement which is toe curlingly expensive and will cause us to trim our scope for this phase of the house re-development. 

The newspaper tells me that the local farmers at Charlesfield have started bottling their own home grown sparking vino.  I blame middle class incomers for this bourgeois activity. 

After breakfast with my feathered friends, I retreated to the garage workshop to ruminate on the nature of existence and perform some bicycle maintenance whilst supping on a tumbler of particularly fine Domaine de Chevalier Rouge En Primeur 2015.
