Couldn’t see much when taking this (light reflection on old iPhone 6s). It was only back at the house that I discovered that a small boy was taking his dog & the sun for a walk, pushing aside the dark clouds, just as I took the shot.
Good thing is happenchance.

Just how much the place has changed in the 9yrs since my last visit (just post Brexit), should prove interesting to observe.

People have long argued that Brexit - mainly engineered by Cummings and Farage/Bannon - was actually a racist project, and little to do with sovereignty
I think the current configuration of Cummings/Farage/Bannon has proved them right.

NEW: Children faced more risk of rare heart problems after Covid-19 infection than they did after taking the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccine, a big three-year study of under-18s in England has found.
Important evidence for debates over vaccine safety, particularly in the US.
