I guessed that if I got nobody else, you would have a go. Nice walk once I had extricated myself from ditch and brambles after trying to take a Weather Watcher pic. over the fence. The various sects of protestant are even fiercer re. each other than they are about the RCs. A friend of mine once got to be an MP, and I foolishly said she must expect a lot of backstabbing "Only from my own side."

I've got to think of something now. In the meantime nice photo of Asplenium scolopendrium colonising the cairn, possibly variety Cornutum. Just to get the pteridologists going and tell me I'm wrong.

Back with a poser later.

Maybe the BT had an iron deficiency or not, but the B aint going anywhere no more.

Too much to hope it's the Bridge at Tolsta i.e. the Bridge to Nowhere?

Not a bridge, a bit less inanimate.

It's taken a century for T to acquire B amongst other discarded items.

Seems a clue is needed to inject a bit of momentum....

M shares it's name with a much grander metropolis.
