Any sighting of the beast, or Lorna?

As opposed to the Can Can, which as everbody knows was composed by Tintin.

Yes.....76 was a standout year.
We had a week on Anglesey in the April and 2 weeks in Cornwall later on.
We were nearly black (can I say that?).
82 was also a good year.
Cant really recall the 25 years ago one....95??

@SpokeyDokey should be able to name the village that became visible once more, as the water level went down.

Morning. Someone else must have reported the street lights that were fused as I see they are on this morning.

I might have an early spin before what little enthusiasm wears off.

Ey up cockers. I've had a lay in this morning - 5.25 when I woke up.

Ten years ago today I was in the middle of a cycle tour, still one of my favourites. Home >Arran >Kintyre >Lochgilphead >Oban >Barra >Stornoway >Ullapool >Inverness.

I was going to do LeJog. Mrs P persuaded me I should do something more interesting so I rode to the Outer Hebrides. She was right. I was meant to finish in Fort William but wimped out near Inverness. The weather conditions the day I rode Ullapool >Inverness were apparently highly unusual - 70 miles in to the teeth of a howling gale and torrential rain. In full winter gear I and all my kit were soaked and cold. Got the sleeper home from Inverness.

This photo was around 10.30pm as the ferry approached Castlebay on Barra. I still remember being blown away by the sight. The other is Castlebay harbour the following morning.

Morning all... Happy birthday Dave7, have a good 'un!

Up early to get cracking on with the brick laying, nice day for it.
