I love the attention to detail in Victorian architecture. Most would never even glance up to see it, but in this morning's sunshine it really popped.

If that's near McGuinness's or past cronky, I've never noticed the hills on the right. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The 11th is after Cronky Voddy - but I'm not convinced that sign is actually at the 11th, doesn't look right (although the snow could be causing the confusion!! LOL)

I don't think there was a McGuinness corner when I was marshalling! But it seems the 11th is in between CronkyVoddy and McGuinness!!

Found these in my coat pocket. :oops: I have memories of a Peroni pop up bar on the Thames somewhere... :think:

Both shoulders are bad today. Can't lift my arms up.
Can't reach up to the washing line, so had to rig up a low line from the heavy chair to pergola leg :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Mrs lands late tonight, but couldn't burden her ;)

I had to Google translate "feral" which gives me "wild" but did the rest of it in Spanish.

It was 'feral' that I had the issue with too. I went with sauvage which is wild. Not exactly right, but close enough for the explanation!!
