Thanks for your contribution to the debate. I didn't realise you were a closet BNP supporter, Dullish Roy. I always had you down as a UKIP supporter (not much difference though, I guess). You have the right to be a supporter of them of course, because we are fortunate enough to live in a democracy. Just like I have the right to deplore their overtly racist and bigoted policies and tactics. They ...

Dawlish in 1907

For sale on ebay at the moment is an original postcard showing the view from the Royal Hotel in 1907. It's a wonderfully evocative image and one that I heartily recommend you take a look at. Copy and paste the link below, then scroll down to the picture immediately after the red writing and click where it says "Supersized Image". http://tinyurl.com/5mwtbb

A debate eh? So, what are your views on this subject Dullish Roy?

Good question, what's everyone's favourite? Of the ones that I've seen, I really like the one by the church. Not seen them all yet though... :-)

Every now and then, I re-read what I wrote long ago, closing my eyes and re-living the experience all over again. I am now looking at the first ...

Bank Holiday
26 Aug 2008

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Bank Holiday as much as I did. A fabulous but hectic afternoon and evening on Saturday was followed by a more relaxing Sunday. We were unable to have a picnic, so we opted for a lovely lunch at a riverside country inn followed by a brisk walk along the river bank. Monday itself was a very long day - exhausting but very worthwhile. If you've never been to Lincoln, ...

Thank you for a thoughtful, intelligent and insightful posting Don. The sentiments that you express within it will certainly be taken on board by myself.

Pardon me? I'm sorry to have to ask, but are you having a bit of a funny turn? You see, you're not making an sense and I'm a little bit worried about you.
