Ruby Rhubarb

She/he was a flamboyant, in your face character on the precinct this morning playing up to the camera just as you would expect a pantomime dame to do, I guess we will see the same person again at christmas time.

The stalls were full of goodies many of course including rhubarb, some not, the spanish churros looked delicious, the Buffalo burgers were sizzling and the bar was open to give the customers a drink to wash it all down. All this and it was only 10:30am.

We didn't stay in town long it was too cold, the air was icy, there was a few flakes of snow and we wanted to get home to the warmth of the flat.

I spent the rest of the day looking through old photos and reading. 

Lynsey is looking for an apprenticeship  in civil engineering, she is even thinking of moving to Cardiff if she cannot find one nearer to home. I hope that doesn't happen, however Lynsey will do as she see's fit she usually does. (no pun intended)

Until tomorrow...
