 Hello and here is just a little ramble on stuff that sparked a little interest in me over the last few days and as I want to bung a few photos on, the blog has to be a better format than Facebook which will get a copy anyway😁 Lets start about mentioning the sunset viewed down Thapae road on Thursday, and I put one you may recall, on Facebook but, I missed the better shot as I was in desperate need of a P.
