Default well im having a drink.

Ive had a very busy three months looking after Labrador puppies and tonight the last one has gone
Im glad and sad.
they have been haed work but its been great sitting in the garden watching them play.
on the upside.... the last puppie tonight even at half price has paid for a full 12 months road tax which is now due
so I don't need to worry about tax at christmas

Just got in bed had about 7 steady pints through the day, coming home tommoz from my hols in lovely Cornwall, just love this place, wish I lived here !

Done a fair bit of touring, did around Falmouth and then helford river. Helford river is absolutely breathtaking, never imagined a place like this to exist in the uk, I'm smitten I know where I want to live when I win the lottery, tho the mrs prefers the other side around st Ives which is equally as nice

Sounds like you had a good time, in spite of your troubled start, I like Cornwall too, Tintagel is my haunt, lovely days walk to St Nectans, great place, like to get there a few more times before I get too old to do it, Rick

nice place but I prefer mountains and rivers than beaches and harbours.
and north wals isn't that far from us really.
only good thing about living in stoke is that its not to far to go in any direction for good scenery and green lanes

Swap you some scenery for some green lanes, 368sq miles of Dartmoor national Park covered in old tracks etc and they wont let you drive them, walk for months but put a tyre near them....... Its like you were devil worshiping naked in Church.

Same around here JimE.
A couple of year back three of us in our 4x4s On some old NCB land.
To cut a long story short we found and stopped a 14 yr lass from bleeding to death and my mate rushed her to hospital.Next day coppers turned up at our doors and gave us all Asbo's.Only other folk around at the time were dog walkers.So we went from Hero to Zero.
