Mmm, I'm not ...Hi Scarlett,<BR/><BR/>thanks about the photos. Mmm, I'm not sure about the eye, there's some tinkering that goes on back home before I stick them up. Still, that's what I like about digital photography, you don't need a dark room and ten tonnes of equipment to do what photographers have been doing for years (I guess some photographer will now call me a philistine.)<BR/>And as for the palace thing, to be honest I really don't care about the royal family. They are just a bunch of horsey looking people and I was shocked at the crap that was printed about them everyday in the newspapers. It's like the UK has replaced real news with the cult of soap and the royal family are just one big soap opera. They are still regurgitating Diana stories! <BR/>I'm not a royalist at all (just in case you hadn't worked that out).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27369146.post-60938719234638592312007-07-21T06:41:00.000+02:002007-07-21T06:41:00.000+02:00Funny how old haunts can be, isn't it.Memories jus...Funny how old haunts can be, isn't it.<BR/><BR/>Memories just come raging back in, and then there's a tidal wave. <BR/>Glad you had a good, safe trip.<BR/><BR/>Lady, your photos on the sidebar there are nothing short of awesome, you have a very good eye - the composition in these is wonderful.

And that Chicken seems to have come back even more mischievous then before.<BR/>Hi Apprentice, mmm... the fire... I was pretty calm, did I mention that pub? The stupid thing was that I then woke up with a stonking hangover and decided to cure it with a nice breakfast. As I was telling my housemates about the fire in my room the smoke alarm went off. I was burning my breakfast!<BR/>I wish the book I was going to write would pop back into my head Debi.
