The perpetual photography thread

As Henbane is my witness, she will vouch for me that I am not making up words. "Spag bol" is British slang for spaghetti bolognese.

Also, 'butty' is northern English for sandwich, in this case a very informal, impromptu version over dinner, preferably devoured in huge mouthfuls.

this is what i'm gonna be for halloween

What is that? George out of Rainbow?

A hungry hippo.

you're my age tequila- how can you think that's george!
at least i'm not the only unknowledgeable one

No, he's not making words up.

Although I've never actually eaten a spag bol butty. I have eaten many butties, and lots of spag bol in my time tho.

Chip butties are good.

That was always a speciality of my brother.

What about a curry butty, Henbane?

And, yes, chip butties are where it's at. Amerivcans will never understand this.

Add me too - a spag bol butty is gooood.
And chip butties.

*comes over all peckish like*

This has certainly been an educational 3 or 4 pages. I think.

Is this your cat Henbane? It looks kinda like my Obsidian.



This is beautiful Grete.

Yep, that's Theo. The youngest of my three cats. He's certifiable.

He's a beautiful cat. Is he a Chantilly or Northwestern Tiffany (not to be confused with the English Tiffany)?

Ah, he's just an ordinary moggy, from Leicester. All my cats are just pic n mix.

I have one of those too. He's a big lovable baby.

Couple more photos - why not!

In Preston 'city' centre:



A removals van outside a supermarket in Garstang:



Aisles from the café above said supermarket:







And the meal I had in there - steamed haddock and smoked salmon fish cakes with salad and tartare sauce:

Oh, and a bottle of "Malta Guinness", a non-alcoholic malt drink produced from Guinness extract. Imported from Nigeria and bought in the tiniest little African shop I have ever seen - this was about the only genuinely African thing in it!



It was the nicest malt drink I have ever had, and certainly the most palatable as all the other ones I had I could never finish. Not bad at all. £1 for a 330ml glass bottle.

Yesterday I attended the Apple & Fruit Weekend at Beetham Nurseries in Beetham, near Milnthorpe in south Cumbria. They had lots and lots of different varieties of English apples to taste and also to buy.

Here's some of the photos that I took there:

Various varieties of apples on the apple stand:
