Oi lapses into 'ampshirespeak more readily than Oi does into mid-atlantic nowadays, friend Dough.
Here's 'ampshire humour for you. Remember those posters in pubs which said 'Your best friend is the one who won't buy you a drink if you're driving'?
In a pub in my home town, someone had scrawled underneath,
'He wouldn't boy me one if Oi weren't!

I've just seen these recent photos on some American friends' blog. This is Massachusetts in the fall. It really does look this good, and usually even better. I feel (second)home-sick.   |

It always strikes me as funny, given that I've spent a substantial amount of time away from them, and given that they aren't my 'native' (whatever that means) environs, that the hills of Oxfordshire are what I miss most (after family, of course!). I look at a photograph of a hillside near (for example) Dorchester and I sigh. I die a little, perhaps. A photograph does capture the soul perhaps.

A plea. Photo taken yesterday:  It's never done this before. Any idea what's wrong? |

A bit soft-focus but this is still worth posting, I think. cotitsalv. The river is the Cuckmere. It's always a special moment to come out of the forest ( just light enough to see in by this stage), reach the spot where the wall lowers, and have this scene suddenly revealed. But on such a beautiful evening...  |

Splendid, Ron. Made me hum the old Al Bowly ballad:
