    Mhoc - the cattle strike was near Peterborough, I won't give any more details as its not nice but obviously anyone who wants to know can google "train hits cows". The east coast line was closed and we had to take the west coast line back to bonnie Scotland.
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.

    Or maybe I'm getting it mixed up with Countryfile:rotfl::rotfl:

    I have to admit, I like countryfile but I detest all the pomp programmes!
