2: Is that today?

Then never speak to each other again

A sandcastle fort of such joy, it is enough to make some weep, and others swoon. Regard the snaking moat, the causeway entrance, and the watchtowers. This is a thing of joy, friends. Of joy. 

It was trampled to death by my children some 2 minutes after this before being washed by the tide. Goodnight sweet Prince, flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

The headline should be "There's Something Rotten in the State of Primark"

I spent a very pleasant morning in Huddersfield.

The market is incredible. I could have bought a replica pistol, a commerative D-Day landings newspaper, a tribal mask, a punnet of strawberries, and a boxset of Begerac and still had change from Β£20. Bargain.
