Hair over the eyes and flies on the nose. And the others don't want me in their gang.

That hotel is on our list for a future visit - we get a little further up that coast with each trip.

This mother was chased off her nest by a dog at an early stage in nesting, so it's a big relief to see some babies.

Mine was complicated only in that it was for the middle third of a journey, and the system could not cope with a return claim ending before my starting point. Good luck.

Thanks - I rather like the randomness of their Daytripper option.

I can see why they need times on the forms. It's something you are sure you'll remember, but you get home eventually, sigh with relief, pour a gin, and decide to make the claim tomorrow...or perhaps next week...and the details have evaporated.

If GWR ran their trains as efficiently as they run Delay Repay, they wouldn't need Delay Repay.
By chance (rather than any clever evidence-gathering) I had screenshots of the Live Timetable showing the delay, and a timed photo of the arrival station - useful when doing the form-filling days later.

That day mainly involved the Red Arrows, so "interesting" but not secret.

I've been known to stand near Brize Norton with a camera with a long lens and hope to do so again. Public road, and I imagine that someone official knew we were there.

We didn't have The Bestiary as a record, only the two Hats, so I came late to the Armadillo, and it's not ingrained as the Hat songs are

I love seeing them. A little further along came mama swan and 3 cygnets, so we had all sizes this morning

The alternative possibility is that good writing will increasingly stand out amid the automated dross

Yes. We might at least see less of politicians being induced to bow to developers' wishes by party contributions. Then again, perhaps not.

I know. Government could control this - perhaps this one will at least at the level of making developers stand by their applications without room to wriggle expensively afterwards.

The blight lies in how it is done - dumping lots of tacky-looking houses in fields is not creating communities. Shops, surgeries, buses should be built in to the permissions - and enforced.
