    Excellent Annie :cool:

    My mate said he'll send me some pics when they pull it out of the hedge. I was amazed when he said it was the last surviving one from the mills as I'd featured some 100 year old sketches of them in a video of "Unknown Kent" a while back :)

    We had a visit from the optician for "Specsavers" today, to examine my wife's eyes and prescribe new glasses. They'll be back in three weeks to fit them...or maybe... "or lower her ears." She's not able to visit their premises, so they offer this service. It was a two-person team, a guy to do the testing and a girl to do all the paperwork.

    She's not had new glasses for fifteen years, so there were considerable changes to be accommodated. She'll be having two pairs, one for distance and watching TV, the other for reading and making her decoupage cards.

    It was all pretty painless for her, less so for me, as the total costs were £310.

    No "special offers" with this service!

    It amuses me, because it was I who insisted she, "got her eyes sorted out" and even at the last minute she tried to get out of them coming to do it. But it was very necessary.

    "Perhaps I'll get her ears done next."
