Re: Wurzel
Five Rivers 01-04-2024 The weather report for the two days previously had been wrong on both days, first wrong in a good way with a warm and sun-drenched Saturday and then wrong in a bad way as it was much colder and duller, almost a No-Sunday as it were.

Out and about…30-03-2024 Part 3 Even though I was footsore there was still somewhere I wanted to check out which was the only reason that I’d brought the car and so off to The Devenish I went.

Out and about…30-03-2024 Part 2 From the car park (Five Rivers) I strolled quickly across towards Comma Corner half expecting the sun to disappear as I arrived there. Strangely it didn’t which kinda freaked me out a little bit! Instead there was a Peacock sitting in the sun and it was one of the tw...
