Great great photos Simon!!! Love the colourful trio photo!
Good shot from James in the ferry!
Sparkles with her golden shower ;p
Hot water bottle a must although it might be easier to just go for a run up the beach …

Nice colourful cozzies Nan,, Lee & Midge. Met someone here in Philippines who swim with B&B and writes saturday blog Anna banana ?? She was looking forward to the swim at a triathlon here but they cancelled the swim because of a little chop. A ripple compared to some of the stuff in Australia.

I agree some superb shots – the tardis, statues and reflection and some gorgeous bright cossies. Thanks
