Goodbye 2012 – despite the rain you’ve been a fantastic year…

I feel like I got a lot of waffling out of my system in my previous blog so I’ve decided to keep it simple – sit back, relax, and enjoy the pretty pictures…

  Hey Adam,
  
  I got a few of you in a very similar position to this, you were there for some time after all 😉 Unfortunately I didn’t get any of the fall itself, although I do find this slightly strange since that too went on for a long, long time!
  
  Shall we make some more bank holiday plans for 2013?
