    See the wild animals we have to deal with here in the UK, I tell ya, the streets aren't safe! :) :)

    We always visit a local trout farm where they have a 'family pond' for the kids to fish in. All three caught 2 each, sizeable trouts which are now languishing in my freezer. As you can see, Eleanor wasn't getting to close to hers!

    This is Lynmouth, a lovely local beauty spot with an interesting cliff railway run by water and gravity. The railway saved the townsfolks back in the 50's when there was a flood up on the moor and huge boulders came crashing down through the village along with the flood water. The train trundles to the top of the cliff to the village of Lynton.
