does my bum look big in this?

the umpteenth time i've used that title.

I was overjoyed that within about one minute of setting foot on Brownsea Island this little chap scampered down a tree, along a bench and sat himself down in front  of us.  
We have spent almost the entire day on Brownsea Island.  A magical island,  with a whole heap of red squirrels and other wildlife critters.   Can't seem to link to anything but worth googling Brownsea Island, Dorset, for those of you not familiar with it.

we had a bit of a nose round Sandbanks too.  Cor blinky blimey you need to have a few quid to be able to afford a house there. 
Squillions it would seem.    Some corking houses and a very pleasing wide sandy beach; very clean and even the shells looked expensive.

... my god and now we have just heard that Prince has died....!!  Good lord what does it all mean.. ?  A lesson to us all to hang on to every moment if we can.  Difficult if you are not a natural joyous type of cove.

I've popped some extras on..

Happy birthday to the Queen. 90 today...Huzzah!
