Yup. :thumbup: I was out and about today (and a luvverly sunny day it was too) walking along a path above one of the prettiest bits of the local world and ahead was a mass of snowdrops along the woodland edge. Nice. Spring is in the air. :banana-dance:

Caught this week just off the coast beside me.

Rare as a rare thing apparently. I reckon it was Scottish.

According to the Beeb the scarcity x number found means the UK must catch about 3 million lobsters every year.

We had something like that in a copse where we used to live, the VeeDub fanboi's would have got all moist if they'd known!

I can see it looks like a cock, but I'm trying to figure out what it actually is.

Re abandoned vehicles - My new-ish neighbours got someone in to tidy up in their woodland. They found the remains of 2 vehicles and much crockery. :hmmm:

There wasn't much left of the vehicles apart from engine blocks but they may have been Moggy 1000 vans once upon a time.

They couldn't work out the dining services though.

(I put my Internet deerstalker on and found that years ago the house owners ran a catering/ events company).

Where I walk my twat-arse dog there's the rear subframe from a Mini (guessing) slap bang in the middle of a densely wooded area. How it got there, and why, has always been a bloody mystery to me.
