  2. Spent lunch time with "ewsjo" rescuing my car from the snow whilst out fotting! 2 Tampers, 2 Coals, 1 Liner and 1 67 hauled charter, all in an hour, made it worth while!

      Yep, just the Bristol side of Hullavington Loop.

  3. And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea. And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

      My joint favorite Cream track, joint with Deserted Cities Of The Heart. I wish I was around when there were great trains and great music...

  4. Half a league, half a league, half a league onward! All in the valley of Death rode the six hundred!

  6. The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water as the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.

      It's one of my favorite metaphors; The Poet and the Painter represent the caring creative side of society and the infantry represent the Greed and Lust driven side of society. The Poet and the Painter merely cast a shadow on the water where as the infantry are illuminated by the Sun and glorified. Maybe one day it'll be the other way round.

  7. is wishing Santa brought presents for grown-ups too!
