 :o Here too!......noticed this morning; it looks like I haven`t washed my Miggy for weeks, as overnight that dust has fallen and glued itself to the dew-whetted paint.  :'(

 ;D You`re not missing anything much!  ;D

One of my kennel`s puppies went to live in Brightlingsea; only when I met the lady owner did I realise how poor the road links are from East-Essex to North Wales (without many Motorway links).

Bala's not really very nice itself, but in stunning geography....   , and the area around there has some of the best "driving enjoyment" roads in the UK.
