Went away last weekend and the drive itself was glorious! Both pics taken on the A66 right across from Scotch Corner to Penrith.

View from the passenger seat of a car. There are hills, country roads and a sunset.
View from the passenger seat. A farmhouse in the middle of a beautiful landscape with dry stone walls, green fields and sheep.

When men have anatomical variations that make them FAST or STRONG or give them huge endurance, we're so impressed. They are athletic gods. When woman have anatomical variations that make them fast....we start to ask if they're "really" women. Why is that? www.scientificamerican.com/article/spor...

Glad you are enjoying it. Did my MA in my 40's and passed my PhD viva at 49. LOVED being a mature student. No contradictory feelings about learning - I really appreciated being there after decades in work. Loved all the learning. Enjoy!

The modern greyhound originates in early mediaeval Ireland, where it was bred by monks who needed a dog flexible enough to fit into the initials in their illuminated manuscripts.

Luath the greyhound, contorting.
