Three labradors foxed (Rousse)

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Dreamaticus

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Just across the Firth of Forth in Fife a state secondary school hosted an annual summer fair. It was odd that we had never known about this, especially given the BBC sponsorship of the event. I turned up on the … Continue reading →

A visit to (the other) Cardiff Castle (Rousse)

Posted on May 31, 2013 by Dreamaticus
