Well that's the end of an era. And as Max Boyce says
"I took my helmet home with me and filled it full of earth. Planted lil flowers in it and they grew for all they're worth.

Duw it's hard

Went to the wildfowl wetlands centre in Llanelli today and saw the biggest squirrel I have ever seen! 😳🤯 Looks like he's eaten one of the ducks! Don't know if he has a name but we called him Kong! 😁
