    Indeed mate, it's very slow on here after recent events. Hopefully we can try and find ways to entertain ourselves until things pick up football wise.
    Good to see you back though, and you too Beth.

    For those folks still up, like me on the other side of the pond, another photo clue question.

    Actual locations of a 1969 movie, based on an autobiography of the same name.

    Name the movie/autobiography?

    Again, another beautiful spot that I visited as a child.
