Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Clare, I do love a good sausage, although my favourites are a locally bought version of Cumberland ones. Glad you managed some time out and about. Diane, don't worry about replying to all our chatter - I'm just glad you're OK. Heather - A drama! Hope you all got to sit down to your beef in the end. I'm sure you managed to enjoy yourselves with your lovely family.
I hope everyone else managed a pleasant day. At least, in the UK, it's not been wild weather at all.
