    dalbuie, you're a star [​IMG]

    And nothing more restful than looking into a star filled sky on a crisp winter night.

    Steve, there were a few groans and words I can't say but I took the dogs a walk along the beach this afternoon and it helped.How many times have you ran the 10k race for life? [​IMG]

    I can't run but I'm going to cheer on my daughter on Sunday when she does 10K for Cancer Research round the grounds at Sandringham. She did the Great North Run last month for the Red Cross and earlier in the year did a 10K at the Norfolk Show ground. I do my bit by digging deep to sponsor her. This year she's raised three grand for charity. That's my girl....
