Those of you who have been nagging me to get our blog updated, have had your wish fulfilled. Go to the usual address, and click on "missadventures", then choose "UK Trip 2015".
There's still a few images to be added to the galleries for each section, but I'm sure you can survive without them.
Some examples...
Wales
Cornwall
Devon
Sarcastic, droll, and even complimentary comments are welcomed, either here, or via the comments sections on the blog...
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Do we get three votes or only two? If three, can we replace (say) "complimentary" with "disparaging"?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
My fav -- I like the photo of the majestic bald eagle soaring mightily over the unmistakable, yet beautiful, Wrexham tar pits of Wales. The burnt orange sunset offsets the focal point exquisitely and ties the moment all together. Absolutely breathtaking and awe inspiring. Good eye, Gob.

From the photos, I can deduce that Wales and the West Country have been abandoned by their human population, who are probably seeking atmospheric conditions less conducive to excessive rainfall and depression.
I was thinking along the same line as Sue. Gob seems to like getting away from the populated areas in Australia so he can find other places in the world to get away from the population.

I think you're close, but may have cause and effect reversed. The people have obviously fled the area, so you have to ask yourself, what is the common denominator? (Gob. It's Gob. People are fleeing Gob.)
Agree with Sue about the avoidance. I mean really, they practically pay him *not* to work. Or to show up at work, to be more accurate.

Now I get it, Sue. All those photos that Gob takes are in highly populated areas and were intended to be of groups of people. They all ran away when they realized he was the photographer.

Built as former homes for the lighthouse keepers the aptly named Lighthouse Cottage is a beautifully appointed cottage with stunning sea views from almost every window.

This beautifully converted, detached, old stone barn has been featured and recommended by the BBC's Countryfile magazine and Barbour Clothing.

... I spent every other weekend for four years on a farm. I called similar items horse bridle tack medallions. Of course, being in the UK they might have a different name for them.
