I won £4200 on the Lottery a couple of weeks ago and only found out when I checked my account balance today. My balance on the lottery website was zero but it seems they pay larger sums straight into the bank account. Was a nice surprise.

Brilliant news for you. I’ve always wondered what they do with a decent sized win like that. I  play on line and to be honest I never check the winning numbers, Still awaiting that e mail giving me the jackpot!

Sadly I'll be unable to attend this year. First year I'll miss for over 20 years. I'm sure I'll spend the winnings wisely 🙂

Thanks. I've been playing online since it started so it's nice to know these type of wins do occur.

Great pics, how’s the ground condition? We’re down camping next month but by then the place will be out of bounds so I might manage a photo of the outside of the fence or a sneaky one from the tithe barn right of way

Did you clang the long drop door? , I certainly couldn’t resist doing that. 😊

Good news, The swan is back! Nesting on the beach a few feet from a busy promenade and a kid’s playground, totally oblivious to everyone. Its been nesting here for the past five years, four eggs I understand this time. Last year I posted a photo of the cygnets. Fingers crossed for this year.

My condolences guy.

THE TRAIN: 

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum. Some, however, will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

Now that is good news. I recollect that the Lib Dem’s used to be quite strong in SW England. Are they doing well down there or is it labour?
