It is, really. And the stream was quite low, really, for the time of year.

[Rayge]

Ok, let's get this done. First off, March is drawing to a close in this thread, albeit slowly

Tomorrow, rural joys and the boy is back in the mean streets of Sandford

Tomorrow, back in Devon, Phew. And more puppy pics. Aaaaw, cutie-wootie.

[Rayge]

Phew. The longer I stay away from it, the more powerfully disorienting it is to go back to what, after all is my home city.
My home has been going West since I was 40, and gradually London has seeped away. Although I still cross the road like a Londoner.
Anyway, still in March (just), back in Devon and in need of a soft comedown.

more tomorrow

[Rayge]

Owing to being both massively stoned and still high about the football and wanting to watch it again and it's 11.30 and I still have to edit some of the April contingent, today's batch is canceled. But I'll do two tomorrow. Probably.

COYS

[Rayge]

ahem, still not back on an even keel.
Anyway, here's some out and about shots from the beginning of April in part one, and more canine juvenilia in part two
