Well that's another episode of Sharpe coming to a close on Saturday morning. I must have watched and enjoyed Sharpe repeats countless times, but I've only seen his run-in with Tippoo Sultan in the Indian sub continent once.
Funny that, aint it?
I'm glueing up frames for the bee hive and lacking space in the shed I have to glue up a couple and then wait a while. But now watching "Wartime Farm" Ruth has hust got an electric iron. I remember 'me Mam' ironing with acouple of irons heated on the fire turn and turn about. She had a thin guage polished 'overshoe' which the iron sat on and was held in place with a clip from the pointy bit to the rear. Funnilly I've seen countless irons of this type in antique shops but never the overshoe.
Funny that aint it!
Cheers, Tony.
