down the dark dark street


I live in Sheffield in a little house on a little street full of very cool shops. There is a barbershop in the front room. It's not mine. My blog is named after Funnybones. I like old things that are beautiful and gin.

My darling Grandma died on Saturday 4 May aged 90. Wynne was such a calm, elegant and lovely lady. She taught me how to make a perfect sponge and the importance of good china. 

We found this school leaver’s report in a box of her possessions when searching out her birth certificate.

I think it’s perfect and I’m going to read it at her funeral.

My office building used to be a gentleman’s club. No… Not what you’re thinking.

A place for actual gentlemen to drink, smoke and freely be misogynists, I imagine. It’s got amazing views of the river, huge bay windows and damp. 

Anyway, it must have had a reading room because I found the sign and it’s mine now. Just deciding whether to have it on the office or the loo door.
