You look as marvellous as ever, but i think you might have some competition here from your fine clan of posers! I love the fact that Simon has got involved in your blog, he looks great fun Curtise. All these adventures you're going on are wonderful to see. You've inspired me, when we next go on a train, I'm taking sandwiches.

Gorgeous creature!<br />What a lovely day you must have had. Brilliant photos ... just what I wanted to see today. Music, THE ferry (Gerry Marsden and all the Pacemakers were in the film ...
