Hello Ocho-Onda
How are you? Hope all is well with you.
I got a fright when I saw the fourth pic until I read the caption. :-)Interesting selection of pics, as usual, from you. Thanks. The last pic filled me with nostalgia as I love Cheltenham - love that place.
I did some posts on animals ("A most touching video - You must watch this" - on Christian the lion and two otters plus a Welsh corgi)...Do check it out if you have time.
Take care and here's wishing you a great week ahead!
Blessings to you and yours always.
