Many years ago a nice Sunday out for us would be to take our dog and drive to Newark and then we would all wander along the waterside, sadly no dog now, not allowed where we live and we now wander along the seafront most days

Great work,good people in life ,thanks.

Oh WOW!!! Reflected glory (I love it). A 'friend' of mine on the same blog as me has got a Duke of Edinburgh award. Brilliant. Well earned and thoroughly deserved. Are you allowed to park at the Palace when you go up to London as a perk?
