taken over a couple of days, between thunderstorms...

Holds a lot of memories for us that spot, buying (and selling) our boat from there.

We used to keep our pair moored on the castle. It was a nice spot. In those days the pub was fairly dodgy

That boat HARRY is such a pretty boat! 

 

I remember it burned out at Burghfield. Fantastic job the owners have done of restoring it.

They did such a fantastic boat that the survey last week showed a baseplate of 15mm instead of the 10mm that the seller's thought they had.

And if you zoom in you can see how well priced the diesel is!!!!

We regularly walk the dogs up there.
 

Matty has got me worried now that I might fail to spot one of them "doing his business", and I may get captured on camera failing to "pick up" after them!

This must be about some point of grammar from Athy that I have managed to miss, presumably?

He was musing recently on when we stopped taking the dog for a walk and started walking the dog

I hope he doesn't Google the latter way of saying it - he might be quite shocked!

[Athy]

Not depressed, just noting a change in usage.

I don't need top Google (another new verb in the language!) it: to me, Walking The Dog was a very entertaining Memphis soul record by Rufus Thomas, covered quite well over here by The Rolling Stones. If you know a more sinister or unpalatable meaning, you need not explain it here!

Top Google? Pedant pick on thyself!
