The Fires of Mordor

Well, OK, a sunset happening on the Herefordshire side of the hills.

Got well narked by the local post office this morning.  I'd two large parcels to go, and some stamps to buy.  The local only allows one person in at a time. 10-15-20 minutes later and I am still outside in the freezing mizzle and it really doesn't look like very much is happening in there though I've clearly been seen.

By contrast, I spent less time at the Great Malvern post office, in a five-person-long queue, with the same parcels - and that branch is 200 quid better off from our Christmas stamps purchase; and will be again.
