Backalong

I saw on the internet that Backalong was a Somerset or West Country word for a long time ago, although my dad (Somerset born) says he knew it also as meaning 'back over there.'

I might have left it too late for the kenning I.P. and not sure I've got it right anyway as I think they should be more literal. But I was so taken up with the kenning idea that I thought I'd give it a go. Thanks for the idea and hope the I.P. keeps going.

My daughter helped me remember the silly things I've told her. And some of them not so silly of course and should be adhered to at all times.

Thank you for the lovely comment. Yes, as a non-driver it's all walking and bussing for me. And you're right, they're being cut and the sneakies are saying the bus fares have gone down while at the same time abolishing the three-stop hop!!...

I think I missed any news of these floods completely. What an experience and I'm so sorry it got into your home as well. I liked the little touch of the nurse at the back of the shop who had no idea what was happening at the front.

Posted on Fri, 22 Jul 2022
