Dead jealous of your Osprey sighting, POPS. Never seen or heard one of these beasts, Those large blades must make a pretty big whomping noise. Talking of which, had a flight of three Chinook Mighty Wokkas overhead last week. Heading directly out into the Channel towards northern France. NATO exercise, perhaps. Rattled the windows.
And, Brydo, thanks for the Van Winkle gag. You might like to know that it’s all gone a bit Pearl here at present… (?)
