Hoy Ooop!
« on: 11 September 2009, 21:27:50 »
Thats me finally home after a wee country treck in the Luxobarge.

A gnats chuff short of 1900 miles since a week past Monday, calling at Carlisle, Fulham, WIM, Fulham, Newent, Tintagel, Devon & Cornwall and latterly, York due to some really groggy mist/fog on the SW coast.

Quite enjoyable, although the other half was disappointed at D&C.  She was expecting a 'chocolate box' type village scenario but all she got was the Normany-esque 'Bocage' hedgerows - http://www.dday-overlord.com/eng/bocage_war.htm

Liked York/Harrogate though.  Nice wee corner of the world.

Anything happening on here?  no scandal or insurrection?N
