Wales - England
The grass is greener on the other side and here is the proof,this was at dusk on the border near Ross on the A49.I had run out of drive time and had to park up and it was on a layby that had a public footpath there was a crooked style so I walked a crooked mile and took some pictures.The green band is the green green grass of home and the field of wheat is England.

I was on my way back from Wales picking up a load of waste flour.Whilst picking the flour up the lad on the fork truck was getting a pallet off the top of the racking in the warehouse and a couple of the 25kg bags dropped from about 20ft onto the truck,no big deal as he was in a safety cage,I could'nt resist shouting over 'are you all white mate?'

Only a fool breaks the two second rule, if you do like to tailgate then make sure you have the lightning reflexs to stop in time when the traffic stops or you could well be kissing the bumper of a gorgeous Merc and then say hello to the crash barrier.
rush hour in manchester 41.6 miles to home says the sat nav.41.6 miles in Friday night traffic is more like 71.6.Then again with my cool box full of treats for the girls it soon goes by.The whole of the centre of Manchester seems to be one big building site,with tower cranes dotted all over the place.

I made my escape by going up Bury New Road,but the M60 was blocked by a huge crash where a Spanish driver had side swiped a car which in turn had hit two others.

Goodies in cool box I hear you cry.........

Pray tell what are they?........

On Friday I was sent to a dry ice factory - how cool is that ? about minus 78c to be exact.I asked if there was any going spare to chill my milk down in my fridge,there was and I got some little bags that were getting chucked out.First things first,get back to the yard,pull my tacho and start to play.

Get a grubby cup from the side and add water
add a heaped spoonfull of dry ice
drop into cup and watch the mist form,seen it done on telly and always wanted to do it.
Called Jo to get picked up from the yard,after chucking some of the stuff into the puddles of very thick muddy water to see what happens - check out the video - then straight to the kitchen with the girls to take my new toy to the max and let the girls decide what should be the next liquid that we drop the stuff into.
dry ice Every days a school day here,the girls learnt that it was a solid,it was turning into a gas,that co2 is heavier than air,that it is too cold to touch the list goes on.If learning could of been made fun 30 years ago I may well have spent a little more time at school.Jessica was in her element.

As we had set plan for our experiments and a limited range of liquids to test it on here are our results:

dropped into water - looks good
dropped into boiling water - looks better
dropped into milk - not so good
dropped into water with washing up liquid - best yet
dropped into washing up liquid and boiling water poured on - EUREKA! thats the one.

So now you know,go straight for the last one are our results from this little test.

Our results were filmed and here are the clips:

Cold water and washing up liquid - here
