As it seems to be the current fashion to post up photos I thought I'd bore you all with a few of my recent pictures from Spain - one from a skiing trip to Sierra Nevada just after Cheltenham (typically forgot to get the camera out of my bag whilst actually on skis.... :lol: ) and a few from a few days off with PDJ a couple of weeks back.

Bolonia beach and sand dune, Cádiz

Some great photos SL! The ones of the beach and mountain views make me want to go on holiday again. :blink:
 
Nah, AC - she's about to lunge and attempt to take a lump out of me!! :lol: (and yes, one of my colleagues asks me daily if she's sneezing yet.....)

Cheers for the kind words - I really do think that is the beaut of living out here, beaultifu places are on your doorstep (and you don't have to take a punt on whether or not it is going to be raining on a day off!!) so on days off you can literally act like you're on holiday. I've just got out of the shower after an afternoon by the pool, sunbathing and swimming - I love it. Only trouble is that I tend to pick up the weirdos, every single time!! :angry: This afternoon it was an overweight middle aged builder from Lancashire....:( . Why, oh why do I always get them annoying me?? Surely if you saw a stranger (and someone 20 odd years your junior!!) plugged into an ipod and reading a book you wouldn't stroll up with your towel and strike up conversation??? When he asked me for a drink I near on ran...... :what:

They've seen PDJ - they know you're into weirdos.
 
Lovely scenes - the succulent flowering plants growing near the beach look very like those prevalent in South Africa and many dry areas of the world, and which are now being eradicated by English Nature or something similar from spots they've cleverly colonized in the UK, as they are not 'native' to British coastlands. What a laugh - look around half the countryside and you'll find non-native tree species, and most gardens consist of imported shrubs and flowers. And let's not even think of vegetables... :confused:
 
You forget, modom, I still have photographic evidence... 'ow much, not to put it up for all to see? "Roll up, roll up, see the wonder of the ages... " :teeth:
 
Mare and two foals to keep - yeah, let's go for it, ovverbruv! :teeth: I'll send you the one of Dom taking over at the pole-dancing club we went to...
 
The one of Paul in the G-string at the same club will be worth infintely more!!!, im just not sure it should ever be allowed into the public domain again!!!
 
If anyone wants to get an injunction to stop that happening I will do the case for free to protect the public.
 
Aww... c'mon, James - you were there at the time, and you loved it! Just as much as we loved your rendition of 'Handbags and Glad Rags' - remember? Hey, I've still got the vid...
 
People in glasshouses....

Your and Julie's duet of " It's Raining Men " whilst dancing on the bar got everyone thrown out
 
:shy: Uhhh... well, nearly all of us. I think Julie stayed back to clear up the smashed chandelier and the five broken bottles of Bolly. Well, that's what she told me when she came back at 6.00 a.m.

Gosh! I hope I can use the edit function - she'll be SO cross if she sees this!
