    Actually, it’s increasingly used for tours of staterooms and paintings.

    I shared your post with Jim. He tells me that he’s planning to come to yours and deal with you.

    And I’m afraid Parson Jack Russells can make life very difficult :eek:

    I was on one of the upper levels of the cafe tonight just tidying things getting ready for closing and looked out over the sea. It struck me how happy and lucky I am here and I struggle to think of anywhere else I would want to live.
    Forced me to take a couple of quick snaps:)

    Looks like a scene from Thunderbirds or a 50's sci-fi film but it's actually Darwen Tower.
    About 10 miles away from our hausberg Rivington Pike is this one.
    Combining the two on a mountain bike makes for a cracking day IMG-20230604-WA0000.jpg

    You've spurred me to post a remarkable image of the Cuban legend Alberto Juantorena, nicknamed El Caballo, winning the 400m gold in the '76 Olympics in Montreal. He also won the 800m gold that year, and I believe remains the only runner to have achieved that double in an official Olympic Games.

    Those are made by the teams...not the same as making one for yourself.

    Right, I’m sure Djokovic spent last night sewing the 23 to the jacket.
