Weather etc.

Well as the weather has been so crap recently the opportunities for photos has been few and far between. No doubt as we hurtle our way toward the August Bank Holiday we are destined to have more rain over the next week and the weekend itself!

I have had a few comments recently about the poor spelling and grammar on this site and my blog in particular.
I rarely proof read and only spell check if I remember. Grammar?! I don't have a clue about it. Struggled to get a C at GCSE for English Lang. and couldn't wait to drop it like a hot rock! Don't even ask me about English Literature!! I'm just grateful I didn't have to ruin "Lord of the Rings" by reading it at school and over analyzing it. Its a book! You read, you create the scenes in your head as if you are Peter Jackson and move on, no need to pick apart every damn sentence!. Or do what I do for most book to film adaptations, wait for the 1st photos to be leaked of actors in costume etc, then start reading! Saves even more valuable thinking effort! ;)

Also, I don't write in the "Queens English". I don't talk like the Queen so I'm not going to write like it either!
OK rant over with! LOL (This was for two people who know who they are!)
And to think I let them read Chapter 1 of my own work... (I still haven't seen how much red pen is scrawled on my proof!)
