Dunno, I spend a good part of my childhood in an area best described as "Bleak" but everytime I hear skylark or curlew call it reminds me of that fellside.

One persons barren is anothers unobstructed view.

In 4 locations today we saw them making some sort of feature film. Some amazing scenery and landscape you only get here.

TBF i think the same and know i would not enjoy the place but it makes someone happy. Yorick and an Ex soon. Thankfully we are not all the same and dont like/hate the same things or life would be pretty boring if we all did. I just find it funny when Yorkie boy takes a strop when you diss the island :lol:

Pillock :D I don't care what folk think of my beautiful island. I just laugh at the crass ignorance of folk who've never been here but decide it's shite.

Oh, I'll be riding my bikes the next few days. Couldn't in the UK ;)

The questions in the Laughing Gnome are answered in the song.

“Haven’t you got a gnome to go to?”

The seafront at Beltinge, where ol' ma Gremlin lives. Just behind the cliff you can see Reculver towers jutting up.

Nice after dinner walk with the mutt yesterday.
