You captured a lovely turquoise orb on your boat too

There's many more Sally army folk in Camberwell New Cemetery, but for now, a trio of "fighters"

The tunnels are the Roman water supply tunnels? Very very tiny if I remember correctly, both very low and very narrow.

It did! But then we sat outside a pub and ordered a Sunday Roast, only for the sun to disappear as soon as the food arrived and suddenly it felt more like - 5° and we had to gobble it all up in ten minutes and leave

Beautiful day, so took a walk down for a coffee in the sun




On the way back the Mount's custom built amphibious vehicle drove out of the sea, which never fails to excite me

Brilliant, thanks.
Yes, I think I remember finding some last year when they were well past their prime and just looked a bit brown and dry.

I seem to remember that when we were discussing them they were completely finished here which was why I was going to take a photo this year.

I didn't see as many as I've seen in earlier years, perhaps it's still a little early for them. Although, that bit of woodland (on the SSSI between Whyteleafe and Caterham) has had problems with Ash Die Back so perhaps the volunteers dealing with that have trampled some of them.

A good heads-up, though...I'll keep an eye out on the Roundshaw for them.

Fancied a change so swapped the sands of Swansea for the mud and rocks of Sully
Someone's spruced up the old cliff top defences...looks nice
