Since retiring I have lost track of Bank Holidays because they no longer apply to me. Usually this does not matter, but it did today. After a brief wander around the city centre I chose to catch the bus home. On arrival at the bus...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 31 May 16

Not Finding Easter Bunnies

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21492) • London, England 27 Mar 16

With a sunny start to the morning, it was tempting to take a walk and see if any Easter bunnies could be found. Being the UK and the Bank Holiday, we've already had a, prolonged, drenching outburst, with thunder and the proverbial...

It's The Sun!.

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21492) • London, England 25 Mar 16

A bit of an unexpected start to the morning, in this corner of the, wet and windy, island. As a rule when it is Bank Holiday time in the UK you can count on the weather, if not sending you a storm, being very wet. So right now...
