If you bought a "Bratty" at that Bratty stand you were robbed! 4 quid for a Bratty! Absolutely shocking! You can get a "Curry & chips" with Mayo or Ketchup for €4.50 here.

You can't be serious .... You guys aren't civilized ...
The "Curry" is short for Currywurst, a Bratty sliced & smothered in curry ketchup with a dusting of curry powder & the "Mayo" is nothing like your Hellmans. Surprisingly, it all works rather well.
As to this Poutine malarkey, I'd probably give it a go after a few scoops!
A few random shots taken during my stay on Anglesey.
Lovely shots Russell.
I love Anglesey.
Did you get a chance to visit Plas Newydd....the residence of the Marquess of Angelsey.
The house is fantastic and has a good exhibition of militaria from the Napoleonic wars....and the Battle of Waterloo.
The Marquis of Angelsey from that time, lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo and he was the first man in the world to have an articulated prosthetic leg....wooden of course.
There is also a fantastic trick of the eye mural by Rex Whistler.
The gardens are beautiful and the views from the grounds are spectacular.
I should tell you that I don't get paid for promoting the place ......I just love it!

We never got to see Plas Newydd Margaret but it's on the agenda for the next visit first week in September. My friend's brother lives on Angelsey and we have an open invitation to stay anytime.
He's part way through restoring and old house he lives in. It is a fantastic place with sea views. We got around a lot though and had good weather.
We will be back at Bourne next week until we feel like coming back. Once her house there is sold that will be the last time we go there.
That's the view from our bedroom at her brothers, next to my car is an area which hasn't been gravelled yet and in front of that is the start of the summer house.
glad to hear it is on your list of things to see and do......it is well worth a visit.
I hope that someday I will get back there because there are so many pics that i would like to get.
it is an amazing place.......and lucky you with an open invitation to visit at anytime.

Not been up to much on my time off work. Just enjoying not being there! I am on my second week off....
1-5 Went to Blackpool on my birthday to see how my longtime friend is doing. Hes been in rehab for quite some time and was just released into supported housing. Don't want to get into too much detail about that, other than it was great for me and my friends to get together and all be sober and enjoy each others company. We went to fleetwood where i snapped a few....
6 Visited another friend to help with his computer. This is his dog Benji. Love this little dude!
7-8 Well what to say. It has been incredibly humid and I left my window open all night. Looked up at the window this morning and saw this!
