I get by!

[Icey]

OK.

[tomsk]

it's gone bloody humid again jeez!

[Icey]

Sweltering here. However, I read today that some place in the UK's had a frost!!!

[tomsk]

far North no doubt..

[Icey]

Must've been. Can't imagine where else might've had it.

[tomsk]

How far North have you been Holmes?
The furthest I've got is Cardiff!

[Icey]

That's not north, you wassock - it's south Wales. It's almost directly across from London -via Reading, Swindon, Bristol- and then over to Cardiff. Another 60-odd miles, and you could've visited imhotep!!

How far north have I been? Well - to various parts of Scotland, if you mean within the British Isles.

[tomsk]

well it's still North in my book...
Have you been to Lindisfarne in Newcastle?

[Icey]

No. I've been to Newcastle, but Lindisfarne's a little island off Northumberland, about 60 miles from there. What made you think of there? Do you want to go?

[tomsk]

I'd like to send you there....
No!
Yes, I would like to go there...

[Icey]

Ha. Ha.

[tomsk]

It looks very beautiful and mysterious..

[Icey]

And the priory's derelict!

[tomsk]

miserable as sin so you are...

[Icey]

Not at all, Watson. Here you go - you might find it of interest ....

[tomsk]

Oh thank you!"
Architecture and design is fascinating..
another bucket list item..

[Icey]

Scrub the bucket list and start doing them!

Here you are Watson - there's still time to go this year. 3-day coach trips from London to Lindisfarne ... £189. That includes dinner, bed and breakfast on 2 of the days.

Still not tempted you, has it?
