Ever so slightly damp in Bishopstone this morning. Never seen so many cars abandoned and submerged up to the wheel arches.
My question is, why on Earth would you carry on driving if you can already see several cars in front of you already knee deep in water. Do people like the adventure? Is it the challenge? Phew, that was close! My car was NEARLY a complete write off
I spent a whole hour charging up my camera batteries, so I could takes lots of pictures today and then spent another hour driving to the Cotswold Birdland Park and Garden which is the only place apparently in the UK where you can see Emperor Penguins, only to find on arrival their was a problem with my battery connections and I couldn't take a single picture-at least not with my decent camera. All I had as a back-up was my mobile phone and a small, cheap, compact camera.
Still, they didn't turn out too bad did they? How could they not? Emperor Penguins are the most amazing creatures. Spending months huddled together in pitch darkness, without any food, during the seemingly endless blizzards of an Antarctic winter, trying to keep the egg they have balanced on their feet warm has got to win anyone's admiration. Even if they do walk like old men!
