If the weather is like it is here mate, find a place with shelter.

I suggest somewhere with ale and a log fire.

The closest the torch came to where i live was about eight miles and if it came within eight feet i still wont have looked at it.

Aye, my lass wanted me to take pics with my phone. Why? What the hell are we going to do with them?

delete them in 6 months when your camera is full.

oh for the days of albums full of shit pictures and half with the heads missing.

on holiday this year i think we took about 3 pictures.

We went to the maldives years back and of all the things to take great pics of, she found some rabbits. The joy we had when flicking through the 20 odd rabbit photos back home will never be beaten.

It helped that it was early on in the journey, about the time we last seen the sun.

Pub gardens full, roaring trade for local businesses. Can't say a bad thing about it, except it was late.
