Daughter has been studying Badgers in the county of Somerset. This photo was taken near a village called Queen Camel.

Aaaahhhh!
The Somerset Levels. :)
That's where I hail from.
Watched badgers there on several occasions, we had a set near our house. :<3:

There’s more about Queen Camel here

There are links to Camelot ... King Arthur ... it’s in the right area
Camelot is claimed by the French, the Cornish, the Welsh and lots of places in England.
I remember visiting Tintagel in Cornwall, not a claimant to the prize but associated with other Arthurian legends, and seeing signs pointing to Camelot everywhere. When you get there, the first tourist board you get to says, "This is not the actual Camelot".
Hmmm.

im doing a good thing today... found a brand new sleeping bag in a car, i have in my bag and will be giving it to the first homeless person i see, sadly there’s lots of them here :( and it’s getting cold(er)
I don't understand. Doesn't the sleeping bag belong to the car's owner?

These are cars that are being prepared for sale by a dealer. The sleeping bag will have bern left in it by a previous owner of the car, but that may have been months ago as the cars go through trade-in, auction and eventually the dealer. Tracing the owner would be near impossible

Good afternoon all. I'm back in the part of the county with 21st century communications. I think they still use carrier pigeons and think quill pens are a pretty neat idea in mid Kent. They definitely don't use mobile phones! :D

Busy meeting, but the right decision has been reached.

I also got given a bunch of flowers by the headteacher of the school where I went to tell off naughty teenagers on two days last week... They were a thank for giving up so much time :)

Well done, Linda!
I guess they don’t worry much about digital apocalypse in mid Kent ;)

In Turkey they sometimes claim to have a “natural AC”, for example in your hotel room or on the bus. What this means is you can always open a window. :p
In Morocco, you can't even do that.
Many of the hotels and all the coaches and buses have no windows or people would try to climb out.
I was once in a taxi heading through the countryside when a pack of dogs started chasing the car.
The taxi driver said, "Don't get out! Those dogs are dangerous!"
Why on earth would he think I would try to get out of a taxi moving at 30 mph or whatever, to greet a pack of mangy, slavering hounds?
