Not even the one in "Priscilla"?

Driving past a field of sheep, I wind the window down (sorry, did I say "wind"????) and shout "MINT SAUCE"

Of course!

Well this is rather sweet. Our train home.

Don't ever forget when walking in a city, keep looking up. You never know what you'll see next..

Image of the Linen Hall bookshop, Belfast

A wonderful find - a very dangerous bookshop to browse. Eclectic, slightly bonkers and peaceful. Everything a good bookshop should be.

Image of the Lynch's Castle branch of the Allied Irish Bank in Galway City.

Apparently it's compulsory when visiting #Galway to take a picture of this building.

Nowhere to turn near Kettering. Syston is the nearest triangle but it's a case of how far you need to go down each "arm" before you can safely reverse. Leicester one way. Loughborough the second and possibly Melton Mowbray the third.

And, I should have added, a wedding party.

Don't mind if I do...

Unofficial road sign with text "Danger - this road leads to Dublin"

Must be Cork (very nice street light on the right)

Not on IÉ I'm afraid

Well this is exciting

The Reg Varney image was in 1967. Barclays gave out punched paper vouchers which you inserted into the machine which gave you ten £1 notes.

We had those! A friend of ours has them still.

Awww. Lovely.
Was that a couple of pints of Weissenbier? Looked suitably cloudy.

Close up of a Flush sign in a Transport for Wales train carriage in English and Welsh

Had a great journey earlier this week to the lovely city of Hereford on one of the ex LNER trainsets operated by TfW and on the journey I discovered that the Welsh for "flush" is Fflysh and now my life is complete.

Lovely...never tried to make marmalade with eating oranges (as opposed to Sevilles)

The building immediately behind the trolleybus was a chemist called Harrison Parkinson. I remember being very pleased about the symmetry of the names.

did here as well. Filled all the water butts

Rain?

A little bit of Surrey plonked into North Yorkshire.

Awww...I lived there for three months (for work) at the end of 2012 and I really liked it. Possibly because the hotel where I was staying & work were all within walking distance. My main impression of the place was the number of street trees about.

Beautiful, Chris.

Normally containing dogs.

We've some of those purple spiky things self sown in our front drive. Softens the edges between us & next door.

In the 1990s there was a performer on the Yorkshire drag circuit that used the same song to end his show whilst changing. His name was Etienne (he was French) - we saw him many times at the Bay Horse in York.

Photo of main line platforms at London King's Cross with every visible platform (0 to 8) occupied.

A not uncommon situation to be seen at King's Cross but still worth a pic...9 platforms on the main line side all occupied. Taken about 10:35 Monday 9 June.
