Sunday 11th January 2015 Sunday morning is often greeted in by playing Velvet Underground’s ‘Sunday Morning’ (can’t think why!). Munching on my Sunday morning BLT accompanied by multiple coffees fails to get me past a line in the song that goes ‘It’s just the wasted years so close behind’. The rest of that song, to…

Tuesday 23rd December 2014 We spent the morning mooching around the campsite waiting for the call from Jill & Martin to arrange meeting up with them. Whilst walking the dogs we saw a MoHo parked 50 metres away from a spot that I had included in a previous blog – this guy wasn’t parked…
