    Once bitten ...

    It was such a beautiful day yesterday we decided to go back to our favourite watering hole up in the mountains.
    I had no intention of being banned this time .. lol.


    This is where we went .. our favourite place in the mountains


    After some great pub grub and real ale we took off for a little walk. Elaine with one of the locals


    We walked a few miles around the reservoir before catching the bus back


    On the way back we called in H & M. I managed to pick up a denim shirt and a jacket in the sale. Then we came home and felled a large bush to make more light in our kitchen. This was the view from the back door this morning with it down


    I have now donned me new shirt and jacket and am now ready to face the days work.


    We are off on fri to Rennes, Brittany France. Elaine has a concert to do with Dan Ar Braz on the sat. Then we spend the next day in Paris and home mon. Will post lots of pics from the adventure.
    The new look X Marks looks fab to me.

    Sounds like a great day, Derek. The shirt and jacket look good.
