We took them about 500metres down the road and released them only to see them scoffed by crows! Ah well . .at least we cared. Nice one Grannymar and I'm trying very, very hard to unlearn the rules set by others! Does that include having a chardy before the sun's over the yardarm? Good . .

Who knows.... perhaps one day. @Annb - The problems I seem to run away from these days are the difficult physical chores I took in my stride a few years ago. @Nancy - I totally agree with your first quote. As for the second... who are we to say that a whale's life is less important than that of a couple of seals? @Ramana - Our temperate climate and abundance of rain means we are seldom without water. Our water might be good for making tea, Guinness and whiskey but it plays hell with the rheumatism! @Judy - I wonder who taught me about the in-betweens? ;) @Darlene - You and me both! :lol: @Nick - I have walked along the lough in various stages but never the whole walk in one go.
