While in the garage I remembered this lubricant:

I don't smoke, gamble or chat up girls anymore but I do have a vice

Views (from a hot air balloon).

Note for Neil - you'll get some points if you can work out which town they're taken from

A view - own work

Another view - own work

Out and about with one of those I pad things where my hamfisted touch screen activity hampers a decent delve

Just made a discovery. Viaduct starts with V and of course I am a habitual viaduct photographer. Much of the latest went on this thread here with a few wordy bits
