That's great Dinks. We saw dolphins last September for the first time ever from the south east corner of The Lizard. Actually, "saw" is stretching it a bit because they were that far out we needed my spotting 'scope. They were playfully riding shotgun with a sail boat. I guess they could well have been harbour porpoises but who's splitting hairs? I wish I'd seen that one at Newquay. Reminds me that I saw basking sharks off Sennen in June 1968. I've never seen one since then.

After forking out north of eight hundred squids of my old age survival pot for a service and new front disks and pads on The Bus (VW Transporter), I reversed into my drive which means hugging the offside to my house wall, and couldn't open the sliding side door to get out. £9 posted on eBay for a new Chinese knock-off bottom roller bracket. (VW pushing £100 for the priviledge of a VW stamp in the metal) I think I'll have to query that stuck fast door when the service bill arrives? At first I was in the clarts because I only had Torx™ bits and these fasteners were spline. Then a light went on- a baccy tin full of hex bits turned up the only spline bit I owned and Lo! it was the correct size, so there is a god after all! I'll stop here because it's getting mighty close to FacePage banality.

Well the funeral procession just went past The Crooked Billet roundabout one mile from Château Hippy.

And now turning left onto The Straight Road.
Home Park on the right.
Next turn right onto The Long Walk.

'Er indoors says that The Straight Road is the one going through Old Windsor, not the straight road seen right now. I wouldn't argue with her, but they're about to turn right onto The Long Walk where those traffic lights used to be.

Well this is The Long Walk. Just as you approach the gates, there's a little gate to the left, and ten yards outside of that gate is The Two Brewers, a Fullers house (well they purvey a mean pint of god's own ale) and where you should head if ever doing the Windsor thing.
We were about ten yards in front of The Castle gate at the lighting of The Beacon at the 70th celebrations.

Well that was your chance to nip into The Two Brewers, hoi poloi are now excluded. Probably with justification.

Well, that was a two bottles of Robinson's "Old Tom" (8.5% ABV) washed down with one bottle of Marston's "Owd Rodger" (7.4% ABV) marathon for your scribe. I hope you enjoyed your day too. Cheers Madge.

Watched it, well organised and executed. I didn't realise the castle was so large. A few matelots pulling had their dolphins worn. 👍
