East, West...home's a mess.

But it's always nice to be back, laden with memories, slightly overful of guinness and rather grubby.
Oh well, on with the washing, the removal of mysterious smells and the cuddling and collecting of abandoned pets. (they weren't actually abandoned but they like to make us think they were).
Some snippets.


~Possibly the best morris dancing picture I've taken in 32 years

~Singing in the Horseshoes pub at midnight...or some time between Friday and Tuesday anyway. (clearly a sentimental song)

and Didcot power staion making the best of itself in the late afternoon sun, seen from the top of the Berkshire downs. (Why are Downs always called Downs when they are clearly Ups?)

awesome pictures. Looks like you had a fun time. Morris dancing? not a term I'm familiar with.

Yes, we did have a bit of fun thank you all :)
Still it's always god to be home.
Lt, morris dancing is a 'picturesque' English tradition! Lots of men wearing white with flowery hats and bells strapped to their legs dance all round the village on Whit Monday. It's thought to have been a fertility thing to encourage the crops.
Generally considered the ultimate in uncoolness :)

That's right thursday, you tell her!
And just for that Frangelita, I shall subject you to more. the Shepherds Hey, for instance, the Green Garland and maybe the Rose Tree.
