I think I was last there about 35 years ago, I was brought up not far away in Folkestone.

I still have family there, so an occasional visit is on the cards.

I'll just pop this here again. I know Pete has seen this one before.

This is as far as I've got with my balsa models during the lock down.

Why is it that whenever I see Professor Chris Whitty on TV I think of the Giant Sloth from the Ice Age cartoon ?

Wasn't that Vallance? Whitty is experimenting with coronavirus, last time I heard.

Deadly snails though,
"The Giant Deadly Kamikaze Black Forest Trail Snail is very real, and every bit as dangerous as its name implies. This lethal scourge of the Black Forest lies in wait now for the unsuspecting and uneducated."

Last night was the premier of race 7 in the series - there were 14,500 live viewers!

Bin men were running late today so I'd gone to work by the time they emptied my bin and left it blocking my path. When I got home & moved it, the noise disturbed a cat that was making use of the freshly turned over earth in the front border 💩
