St Basillisa is the patron saint against chilblains


When I was a Teenager 40 years ago My Mum told me never to put my hands in really hot water when I came in from the cold to instantly warm up as it would give me chillblains.

For once she was wrong(in my case) I have continued to come in from the cold in the heart of Winter to do this and not a chillblain in sight!

Oh, leave it it out TLS, are you suggesting, he was taken at gun point to a studio, a cocked pistol held to his head and forced to produce the song? Including the slightly 'skewiff' guitar solo?

Are you honestly suggesting that the bass guitarist on the session Ron Wood, wouldn't've perhaps called on some tasty members of the 'water gypsy' community to 'have a word'. I think you may be speculating.


Unless of course Don Arden was involved, if so, it could well have been just as you say.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
