    I've been Money Tipped!
    Funnily enough I saw several travellers on the move here too, in the rails gain town and then later in the agricultural merchants town.

    I also noticed on tv a new drama has been filmed in wilts. I saw bits of road and said that's up over near.....the. They showed the uffington horse as a diagram.

    Better lock my car tonight though and bolt the door.
    Might not be a bad idea to look into some CCTV in the coming months, not for this visitation, but for future events/occasions when any random can be having a nosey around.

    Thanks very much, but funnily enough, the photo is a pure fluke. It was taken with a £5 mobile phone on which I cannot see the screen at all out of doors. So, I pointed in roughly the right direction and pressed the button. I have various other photos of miscellaneous bits of sand, my fingers, my feet, etc, where things didn't work so well.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    ...horse ...
    When I was trying to guess which road to turn down on my way to yours, I randomly encountered a white horse "up there" .... didn't expect that, didn't know it was there. In my mind, if the weather's right and if I take the same (guessed) route next time, I'll be ready and a bit early and looking out for it, to take a snap.

    I know some NP won't be able to comment but legally and morally the treatment of Aysha and his family is appalling. How can they keep the poor child away from his parents :(
    I think....

    Yeah, they never look like that on the adverts do they? Everybody has a clear view of what they're photographing on the adverts. Reality is, you can't see a thing ... at all ... and have to rely on pointing it at the general direction of what you want to photograph and hoping something comes out (and it's not your finger over the lens).

    I've never understood the sheer waste of time/manpower/money. Parents remove child from a hospital ... shouldn't be an Interpol on High Alert situation.

    There are 000s of higher priority issues that they should be acting on with the same swiftness.

    The parents did nothing wrong, there are no charges, but because of the rules they've been locked up.

    Compare that to murderous/vicious crook/terrorists who get their human rights because they've a cat to feed...... nuts it is. Nuts.

    Let them be with the kid, even if they tag them..... they can sort out this bizarre squabbling in a year's time.

    There are >1. On a drive back from the Isle of Wight a couple of years ago (during my spell of unemployment/ living with my parents), my mum decided we should:
    1. have a quick stop off in the New Forest
    2. pay a visit to Cerne Abbas
    3. see how many white horses we could drive past from Cerne Abbas to home

    We were then going to stop at a pub for dinner, but by the time we got there it was about 9:30 and busy so we carried on home. We ended up on a different road than planned, which turned out to be like a rollercoaster (big ups and downs). In the dark.

    We were both very relieved when we finally got home.

    It's an utter c0ck up, isn't it. Maybe that's what you are pretty much bound to get if you involve two police forces in different countries, a court or two, EAWs, .... Once the system gets going, it's impossible to stop, even though nobody wants this outcome.

    Probably, the only person with any chance at the moment of bringing some sense into this situation is the Spanish judge, but apparently he/she chose not to exercise some discretion, or did not have any.
