Especially love the last pic...you can't keep a good man down...or out of the pub, for that matter.

The otter looked amazing. Having read "Ring of Bright Water", I've always had a thing for otters but realize that they belong out there and not living with me and my already over-crowded megangerie of a household. Daughter and I have been lucky enough to have a "private audience" with one of the little guys while we were camping a few years ago...this was, by the way, in "Stillwater Kilts Country" up around Southeastern Minnesota...it was one of the most magical and charming we've ever had.

Your pictures always make the place look so good...we have just got to get to Wales (as well as Scotland) if we ever get over there. Oh, for a long vacation...ideally the Xsmarks World Tour where I get to stop and have a brew with some of you guys over there in Euro-Land.

Best
