Lord, take me back why don't you? I used to get the Beano, and it's summer special. Still about, I'm off to the newsagents... I'm 71 😉😂

If your eclipse sunglasses are not pitch black in normal light - not allowing a glimpse of light through. You are not ready. Normal sunglasses are not sufficient. So designer frames are unlikely to be for an eclipse. For your eye health don't try normal sunnies.

These are eclipse glasses, the lens is flimsy, look like tin foil mirror like.

When worn normally nothing can be seen through them, only the intense light from the sun penetrates.

I was visiting the area with my brother, father and uncle. We went to the bridge site and the station where the damaged postal carriage was: All photographs by my father. The robbers had not been caught yet, they were holed up in a nearby farm counting and dividing their loot.

Shoulder Bag. I have a shoulder man bag for such occasions, for my phone and wallet and other extraneous items. I do have pockets in my shorts and trousers however as I don't have a decent waistline I find the weight of any contents tend to pull them down at inopportune moments!

Took it in on our holiday travels recently, fascinated how the south end is just buried into the cliff on which the castle is built. Also how narrow the entrances were, fit only for one vehicle which would of been mainly horse drawn when built. Picture four has the toll charges listed.

Picture of Conway Suspension Bridge chain is just connected to the cliff under the castle.

Picture of my wife stood in the entrance to the bridge looking toward the castle at the far end

Picture of my wife stood with her hand on the suspension chain at the far end away from the castle.

Photograph of the toll charges board. I like this one:
"For every Engine, Carriage or other vehicle propelled or moved by steam or machinery or otherwise than by animal power for each wheel thereof: one shilling and six pence." To walk across one pence.

Someone who's encyclopedic knowledge of their topic I've always admired is Hazel Irvine. She also has bookfuls of reference in front of her as she works. I've often thought, when she retires, those books must be donated to some kind of sporting archive.

In front of her on the table is a diary type book and copious other sheets of notes.

Not surprising. Nottingham starts today with Maria Sakkari vs Zheng Qinwen. Full circle moment for me as this tournament was the occasion when Maria first came to my notice. I've followed her career since. Outside court in 2017 - she was not ranked high enough for Centre. Jo Konta time!
