Credit Crunch Busters

We at B of The Blog wanted to try and produce some Blogs at this time of the year that helped you save some money.
So, Cheque out the Nail Art posts and give yourself a manicure for free.
And
Coming soon are calendars that Community Reporters have put together that you can down load for free.
And a video that will show you how you can make your own Soda Bread, I know I would like that for Christmas so if anyone fancy getting me anything I would like some Soda bread pleases. Yum Yum
If you have any more cost saving ideas that people could do blogs on get in touch.  

Edge Lane Diehards

Here you will find a few pics of some of the Edge Lane Allotments Die Hards, we have some of the guys busy cleaning out the stables (maybe looking for some frankincense gold or myrrh left over from xmas ???? )

We have Ken and Owen giving the plots the once over and then we have Roy busy working the land I know, I here you say "what in this weather" Roy was busy earlier in the week ploughing his plot getting it ready for the season.

Season's Greetings

Well. Things are winding down for Christmas and Jessica and I probably won't be posting anything to boftheblog.com until things start up again in January.

It's back to work and business as usual on Monday 5th January but I'd just like to say a big thank you to all our bloggers and all our readers.

Enjoy the break and see you in the new year!

Alex Roe talks about Antigone at the Royal Exchange

Sophocles’ Antigone is a masterpiece. The play
dares to raise relevant questions it in turn refuses to answer. You
will leave the theatre pondering these large questions yourself. Such
as; can religion and secularism ever live happily side by side? What is
terrorism? When is it right to act against the state? And, have angry
woman always been deemed neurotic? Not bad for a play penned over two
thousand years ago
