Stratford!

But you didn't guess the answer! :lol:

It was where one of the clues in the Treasure Trail led us :D

Do you know, I knew I had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where!
Well, I think it reminded you of Scurra, but I'd like to see him in that exact pose to be sure and make a proper comparison... 🤣

As you know, I had the same issue! Although I am not totally holding my breath as this happened before, then resolved, then came back! Fingers crossed.

...Having an emotional day. It is my daughter's birthday today, but turns out it is ALSO my new grandson's birth day! Won't be able to see him for a little while as he is in up state New York, but have photos and he looks scrummy! :D Well done to Dibble and Mrs Dibble for completing my set of grandchildren, both sexes now represented! Good job! :lol:

Not as many miles as Schmeichole. Those two are going back to Sockland on 28th. Then back down to Kent again on 5th January for the funeral. Then we're all going back up on 10th January.
So they'll have over 1100 extra miles on us olders.

Not really. Milbert's friend "Sooty" (family friend of M-bonce) for whom they frequently dog-sit (Lyla) when he's away, was taken into hospital Monday evening. So Lyla was picked up but Rosie and Lyla are both rescues, and both anxious and both upset with the unfamiliar environment and each other. Made it through the funeral, Rosie came with us to dad's flat and was sedated while we left for the event. Back together last night was difficult, pacing and restless, nobody slept.
Sooty died 7:30 this morning.

It was decided best for the Sockland brigade to get out from under their feet and we've just arrived home.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".
