Yet to start processing the 500-odd pics I took last month (not all of them smudgy cormorants) so no promises as to when I will be back. Not that I manage to keep most of them anyway (as I wrote this on April 3, I can confidently say that I will, in fact, be back with March in a day or two at most)

Well, the sproinging of Spring in the West country and the imminent onset of The Great Kablooey (if you will pardon a bit of horticultural jargon) has intruded a bit on my posting plans, so sorry about that: so, belatedly, on with pictures from March, starting with a visit to Hestercombe early in the month.

Not a great, or even good picture, but the fact that someone had this sign made and distributed and not one fucker noticed the egregious mis-spelling of scrumptious...for an old sub-editor like me, it's an eyehook...
