I do like horses... I'm no great animal lover and much prefer people... My one exception is horses and ponies...

From my morning run today:

A very swollen River Lovat spilling onto Riverside Meadow - a properly managed floodplain that helps protect our town.

And a nice skyline with some bonus festive lights :D

I had a forum sticker to post so, despite it being wet, I ran to the Post Office early this morning...

Postbox enthusiasts call our main town postbox a 'Double Banger' :) They are allegedly not that common in this particular oval format...

I remember seeing at least one of those Jim. Long ago though and probably in a village outside Whitby.

Is that real Steve or a bit of clever AI?

This is most definitely real and a nicely festive way to start the day :D

No prizes for guessing where it is... I spend enough time there to justify paying Forestry England for an annual parking permit!

Keeping the Christmas theme alive :-D

Expect one every day now as I run around Paggers and select the decorated house of the day ;)

Neighbour's display, complete with seasonal wheelie bins. They don't light up though.

That's an awesome garden Steve! Love that :cool:

Shame to see your Civic go for such a seemingly trivial reason :cry:

It is Jim. I should venture out in the dark for better pictures. He has been doing it for years and there is a charity collection box there that brings in lots of cash for the charity. I stopped to talk with him as he was putting the hallowee'n display up and it turned out to be his son, who I last saw in a buggy, would have been about three years old then so eighteen years ago. Tempus Fugit!

Shame about the Civic too, it has been all and more than I hoped for.
Tank had eighty quids worth of petrol in it too :( nowhere for me to put it.

bit of twiddling with contrast, colour saturation, and the cartoon effect and 30 seconds later something a little more surreal. Cloud inversion and Cheviot Hills Northumberland
