Well done hun :)
This is the photograph in question - not particularly stunning or even technically great (there are huge dust-spots on the sky FFS!) - just happens to (luckily enough) fit the bill to illustrate summat that is in their magazine, I guess!

I'm happy, thebish, that you have posted information about this rather strange 'thing'. Intriguing is the best word that comes to mind.

I am not quite as happy, though, when viewing the 'Men at Work' sign, seemingly erected close to the end of the path, as captured by your camera. :)

Old Jamaica is a serious excuse for addictive piggying then wishing you hadn't...till you get another bar. :mrgreen:

I thought Old Jamaica was a ginger beer not a chocolate bar. Oh well, I've been away a long time.

Edit: Just googled it - introduced by Cadbury in 1970 (after my time).

So, more or less everywhere Bruce !!

Exchanging on the flat we're selling, house we're buying after 3 long, long months... end in sight!!

I strongly recommend never selling a leasehold, buying a grade II listed thatch in one go... nightmare.

spring warmth - and thusly a delight to be out on the bike rather than it being a freezing torture! 8)

Looks very nice though.
