1950s v 2026 same place completely different cars how things have changed.
Fridge now fixed.

Unfortunately our display fridge has decided it needs a visit from the expensive fridge repair man🙄
Don't worry we still have all our goodies available for you today 😉

Thank you for your lovely comments for our anniversary today.
It was also my birthday today 😁🤣 but that's not as important as our anniversary 😉
I'm not big on celebrating my birthday but Clare looks forward to it as its the only day she doesn't have to carry me up to bed 😁😁🤣🤣

The gargoyles favourite time of year.
Tonight they are out shopping for Halloween items.
They encountered a slight problem in one shop as they were accused of taking one of the display witches.
After explaining that Christine was actually a member of the old forge team they were allowed to leave the shop.
