There was a commotion here last night about midnight with shouting & men with torches running about at the bottom of the garden. Eventually 2 miscreants were apprehended & this morning there is a car where a car ought not to be.

Seamus made it onto Google Street View!  
Apparently, he turned his head so they wouldn’t have to blur him out.  He’s ever so thoughtful.
Also, Barmouth Road is on, but not past the gate.

Gordon Dunn has taken some great photos of the Barmouth and the coastline — you should go see them on his flickr.

Picture from Coast Magazine.
They’re going to start grazing Dexter cows on the Portstewart dunes opposite the house, and maybe some sheep too.  It’s going to be awesome.
From the wikipedia article on Dexters, regarding their milk production capabilities, “Dexters can reasonably be expected to produce 2 to 2.5gallons per day”.

Our national radio station is pretty great.  This is Gerry Anderson discussing smoking with a caller.  

Listen out for his great chinese restaurant manager impression.
