Love the photographs. We always knew Aitch was cute -but Sarah is postitively adorable.

I was recently given a cursory job offer to help the Scottish police in a technical field (based in Dundee, Sco.) ...think I might send my application in.

Yes I recognize that place! Battersea Power Station. It looks better than I remember it. Thanks for posting that Aitch. Any Pink Floyd member sightings in the area? :lol:

Sorry CJ I accidently deleted your post as I was trying to copy the pic. I should put my glasses on :shock:

Actually, I understand, I have to wear my glasses these days to see my screen too. And I'm using 24" LCD displays... :shock: :( :roll: :lol:

I was looking for the same thing.... three different ones... And since there were pictures of Sheep the previous day. What's next, the Dogs ?? Wait, I'm getting Floydian vacation pictures mixed up with recordings done at Abbey Road studios. :) :) :)

And next, I'm guessing, they'll be setting up beds on the beach for their next night out...

Yes.... I wasn't happy at all, Greg. Damned interloper invading my space!! :twisted:

Yesterday we went south for a change.... to the lovely town of Rye. It's wonderful to see so many old towns and villages so well preserved and Rye is quite amazing. If you look hard you'll see Graham enjoying a cold one on the terrace in the first pic:
The Mermaid pub.... built in 1420!!

The last remaining gate in the fortifications.

We then went down to Camber Sands, where I dipped the toes into the English Channel. Graham's got pics of that somewhere. Last night we went to a pub in Greenwch Village where I was introduced to some of his lovely friends, followed by a few sambuca night caps on the terrace..... nothing unusual there!! :wink: :wink:

Tonight we're off to see a Small Faces tribute band.... should be good.

I suppose I should get some Rickenbacker content in this thread at some stage...... :roll: :roll: :roll:

As the man said...........the current Inn dates back to 1420. I think Aitch remembers it being built : )
