This butterfly has white uppersides to its wings. It is only the males that have orange-tipped forewings; females have small black tips. In both sexes the undersides of the hindwings are mottled with moss-green. The orange tips warn predators that this butterfly is highly distasteful.
Orange-tips are common throughout lowland England and Wales, but are rarer in Scotland. Females lay single, pale, spindle-shaped eggs on the underside of flower buds. These eggs turn deep orange after a few days.
The caterpillars hatch and feed on the developing seed pod. They are green and extremely hard to spot. Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, liable to eat another of their own species should they meet. Each caterpillar leaves its foodplant to overwinter as a chrysalis, probably in bushes and tall vegetation. Adults emerge in April.The females are white with black wingtips. Both have mottled green underwings.

This turgid outflow means that the delta is unable to flush out the minerals carried by the river and is liable to become increasingly salty and uninhabitable. Water salinity is reduced by salt collecting around plant roots as most of the incoming water is transpired by plants. Peat fires might contribute to deposit salt into layers below the surface.

I managed to get this shot of that rarest variety of Dwarf Elephant, the Malachite! You do not see many of them in the wild and as they are only a few inches tall at best, they are liable to be missed except when they emerge from the undergrowth! Their numbers are dwindling particularly as they are often trodden upon and killed being so small.
Malachite is a semi-precious stone. It’s a coloured mineral with attractive bands of darker and lighter green making it sought after for the making jewellery of all sorts and figures. It’s chemical name is Calcium Carbonate Hydroxide.
Don't get caught with me in the snow... you're liable to find yourself in the midst of a little playful chaos. It usually isn't a problem though. He might look like he was trying to fend off the abominable snow Monster, but I didn't hear any complaining... Besides, it's always nice to sit around a killer fire pit like this one from Vile. Spend a little quality time with good friends, catch up, hang out etc., etc. So really I was doing him a favor by making him the recipient of my snowball ambush! Oh yeah and as an added bonus... maybe he'll think twice about using my head as an elbow rest again...#smallbutmighty Ehh... Doubtful.

It's an unusual model train item, as it is a stand alone vehicle that can't be joined to anything else. The motor also powers the propeller at the back, not the wheels.
It's also a health & safety nightmare for smaller children! This thing can fly round the track and anyone at ground level taking a look it is liable to get a poke in the eye. A spinning propeller at the back is also not great for little fingers.
Having said that, it's a real curiosity and boxed ones are becoming quite rare.

"Emptiness which is conceptually liable to be mistaken for sheer nothingness is in fact the reservoir of infinite possibilities." D.T. Suzuki
Jackdaws are pleasing to watch. Solemnly and methodically, they stalk the lawn, unhurried in their search patterns, neat and tidy and dignified in their bearing. Unlike the larger and clamorous cousins with which they often flock, their phrases are clipped, their conversations brief.
They pair for life, share food and, when the male barks his arrival at the nest, the female responds with a softer, longer reply. They like manmade structures. Formerly a nuisance as they favoured chimneys for their twiggy bundles, they’re less troublesome in the era of central heating and their liking for church steeples has long been indulged. As the 18th-century poet William Cowper put it, ‘A great frequenter of the church, Where bishop-like, he finds a perch And dormitory too.’ For this habit, the bird was deemed sacred in parts of wales. From the 1930s, the Austrian ornithologist Konrad Lorenz, founder of modern ethology, determined a strict social hierarchy within jackdaw groups (collectively called trains or clatterings). Unpaired females rank lowest in the hierarchy: they’re the last to have access to food and shelter in times of scarcity, and are liable to be pecked at by others without being permitted to retaliate.
However, when a female is selected as a mate, she assumes the same rank as her partner and is accepted as such by all others in the group, upon whom she may impose her status by pecking. Our jackdaw was classified in the 18th century by Carl Linnaeus for its habit of picking up bright objects, particularly coins (monedula being from the same Latin stem, moneta, as money).
Indeed, after Adolf Hitler embarked on an art-theft campaign in the 1930s he was derided as ‘the Jackdaw of Linz’, reflecting an appetite for bright objects. A legend among early Christians declared that corvids were indeed white and took black plumage in mourning after the Crucifixion – except magpies, which were too busy pilfering to grieve properly, so turned only partially black.

I've started going back through the masses of photographs that I took last autumn and the odd little gem is popping out.
Wain Wath force is upstream of Keld and where the River Swale is still in its infancy. The river gives it's name to the Dale it passes through and c omes from the Anglo-Saxon word Sualuae meaning rapid and liable to deluge. I've certainly seen this river in full flow! An average type of flow on this occasion. A lovely place to while away a few hours with a camera :-)
A meadow hidden away at the back of Nene Park. Apparently the soil and conditions produced some of the best quality willow in the country to supply the basket making trade in Peterborough. The last factory closed in 1932. Old maps of the west end of Nene Park show large fields suitable for arable farming with a scatter of smaller fields or paddocks for horses and livestock. The fields closest to the river, liable to flooding, were kept as grass for summer grazing.
Welcome to Trentemoult, a small fishing village on the outskirts of Nantes On explore 28 September 2020
Une île dans les îles
Trentemoult se situe dans un ancien ensemble insulaire : les îles de Rezé, cernées au nord par la Loire et au sud par le Seil. Le comblement de ce dernier a mis fin à cette insularité. Les îles de Rezé étaient constituées, de l'amont vers l'aval, de l'île des Chevaliers avec les villages de la Haute-Île et de la Basse-Île, du hameau de North House (appelé localement « Norkiouse ») et enfin de l'île de Trentemoult qui était séparée du reste de celles-ci par un petit cours d'eau : le Courtil-Brisset. Trentemoult concentrant l'essentiel de la population, le nom de l'île était souvent utilisé pour désigner l'ensemble des îles de Rezé, du reste habitées par les mêmes familles durant des siècles.
Selon la tradition, le village devrait son nom à un exploit guerrier qui eut lieu lors du siège de Nantes par les Normands au ixe siècle : trente braves auraient combattu contre des hommes du Nord. Moins épique mais peut-être plus crédible, « Trentemoult » pourrait être également issu de « trente moux » c’est-à-dire trente tertres.
L'île des pêcheurs
Les trentemousins avaient la caractéristique, jusqu'au début du xixe siècle, de vivre presque entièrement de la pratique de la pêche. Ils bénéficiaient notamment de ce privilège dans l'estuaire de la Loire, octroyé en 1397 par le duc de Bretagne Jean IV.
Les pêcheurs de Trentemoult embarquaient dans des petites barques à fond plat, appelées barges, à deux pour la pêche en Loire et à trois pour celle en mer1. Pour cette dernière, ils n'hésitaient pas à s'aventurer jusqu'à La Rochelle et Lorient. À l'automne, ils se rendaient dans la baie de Mesquer pour la pêche au hareng. Les années 1756 et 1757 furent exceptionnelles et auraient rapporté un produit cumulé de plus de 300 000 livres à la communauté, une véritable fortune.
L'île des capitaines
Au début du xixe siècle, les marins trentemousins délaissent progressivement la pêche au profit du commerce maritime : cabotage puis long-cours. Trentemoult devient ainsi, et ce pendant tout le siècle, un des principaux foyers de recrutement d'officiers de commerce pour le port de Nantes. Parmi ce grand nombre de capitaines trentemousins, on peut citer les noms de Julien Chauvelon, capitaine du Belem pendant 13 ans, ou de Georges Aubin, à qui l'on doit plusieurs récits de voyages maritimes.
Parallèlement, pour répondre à la demande de ces capitaines, des chantiers navals se développent dans les îles, à Trentemoult d'abord, puis à Norkiouse par manque de place : les principaux étant les chantiers Chauvelon et Lemerle dans la première moitié du xixe siècle, Boju, Clergeau et Tillé dans la seconde moitié. À l'apogée des chantiers, ce sont des bricks et des trois-mâts qui sortent des cales trentemousines.
Déclin et renaissance
À la fin du xixe siècle, le village est un lieu prisé par les Nantais : la création de la ligne des roquios en 1887 permet d'accéder plus facilement aux régates, baignades et guinguettes. Mais, parallèlement, la population résidente est devenue ouvrière, principalement main d'œuvre pour les chantiers navals de Nantes. En 1946, Trentemoult est considéré comme insalubre, et en 1970 la ligne des roquios est abandonnée.
En 1979, la création d'un port de plaisance relance l'intérêt pour le site. Le tournage du film La Reine blanche, en 1990, rend le village de nouveau attractif et le prix de l'immobilier y augmente. La liaison fluviale avec Nantes est rétablie en 2005. Bien que le village dépende de Rezé, l'office de tourisme l'intègre dans ses propositions de visite, signe de l'attrait retrouvé de Trentemoult.
Habitat
Les maisons traditionnelles des pêcheurs, adaptées aux crues de la Loire, étaient généralement construites sur trois niveaux. Le premier, inondable, était occupé par le cellier, la pièce d’habitation étant au deuxième niveau. Le dernier niveau était occupé par un grenier qui pouvait parfois communiquer avec les greniers mitoyens, permettant ainsi aux voisins de se rencontrer sans avoir besoin d'utiliser des embarcations. Les escaliers étaient en principe extérieurs pour accéder directement à la pièce d'habitation lors des inondations. Ces derniers étaient cependant parfois doublés par un escalier intérieur. La construction des quais (« Surcouf » à partir de 1850, « Marcel-Boissard » entre 1860 et 1888) a réduit les risques de débordement du fleuve. Les dernières grandes crues mémorables sont celles de 1910 et 1935.
Dans la seconde moitié du xixe siècle, des capitaines, dont des Cap-horniers, se sentant à l'étroit dans les maisons de pêcheurs, se sont fait construire autour du vieux village des maisons bourgeoises, pourvues de jardins d'agréments caractérisés par la présence de plantes exotiques ramenées de leurs lointains voyages.
De nos jours, le quartier des pêcheurs a la particularité d'avoir des maisons colorées aux façades originales et personnalisées. Devenu un quartier « branché » de l'agglomération nantaise, nombre d'artistes et de familles relativement aisées s'y sont établis.
Cinéma
Le cinéaste Jean-Loup Hubert est venu y tourner La Reine blanche avec Catherine Deneuve en 1990. Certains vestiges de décoration mise en place pour l'occasion subsistent en 2009. Claude Chabrol est également venu y tourner La Demoiselle d'honneur en 2005.
Trentemoult inspire encore les jeunes cinéastes, par exemple pour le court-métrage Trentemoult.

--------------------------------
An island in the islands
Trentemoult is located in a former island group: the Rezé Islands, surrounded to the north by the Loire and to the south by the Seil. The filling of the latter put an end to this insularity. The islands of Rezé consisted, from upstream to downstream, of the Île des Chevaliers with the villages of Haute-Île and Basse-Île, the hamlet of North House (locally called "Norkiouse") and finally the island of Trentemoult which was separated from the rest of these by a small stream: the Courtil-Brisset. Trentemoult concentrating most of the population, the name of the island was often used to designate all the islands of Rezé, moreover inhabited by the same families for centuries.
According to tradition, the village owes its name to a warlike feat which took place during the siege of Nantes by the Normans in the ninth century: thirty brave men fought against men from the North. Less epic but perhaps more credible, "Trentemoult" could also come from "thirty moux" that is to say thirty mounds.
Fisherman's Island
Until the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Trentemousins had the characteristic of living almost entirely from the practice of fishing. They notably benefited from this privilege in the Loire estuary, granted in 1397 by the Duke of Brittany Jean IV1.
The fishermen of Trentemoult embarked in small flat-bottomed boats, called barges, two for fishing in the Loire and three for fishing at sea1. For the latter, they did not hesitate to venture as far as La Rochelle and Lorient. In the fall, they would go to Mesquer Bay for herring fishing. The years 1756 and 1757 were exceptional and would have brought a cumulative product of more than 300,000 pounds to the community, a real fortune.
The captains island
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the sailors of Trentemousins gradually abandoned fishing in favor of maritime trade: cabotage then long-haul. Trentemoult thus becomes, and this during all the century, one of the principal centers of recruitment of commercial officers for the port of Nantes. Among this large number of Trentemousin captains, we can quote the names of Julien Chauvelon, captain of Belem for 13 years, or of Georges Aubin, to whom we owe several accounts of maritime voyages.
At the same time, to meet the demand of these captains, shipyards developed in the islands, first in Trentemoult, then in Norkiouse for lack of space: the main ones being the Chauvelon and Lemerle shipyards in the first half of the 19th century, Boju, Clergeau and Tillé in the second half. At the height of the building sites, it was bricks and three-masted ships that emerged from the Trentemousine holds.
Decline and rebirth
At the end of the 19th century, the village was a popular place for the people of Nantes: the creation of the roquios line in 1887 made it easier to access regattas, swimming and open-air cafes. But, at the same time, the resident population became workers, mainly labor for the Nantes shipyards. In 1946, Trentemoult was considered unhealthy, and in 1970 the roquios line was abandoned.
In 1979, the creation of a marina revived interest in the site. The shooting of the film The White Queen, in 1990, made the village attractive again and the price of real estate increased there. The river connection with Nantes was reestablished in 2005. Although the village depends on Rezé, the tourist office includes it in its visit proposals, a sign of the renewed appeal of Trentemoult.
Habitat
The traditional fishermen's houses, adapted to the floods of the Loire, were generally built on three levels. The first, which was liable to flooding, was occupied by the storeroom, the living room being on the second level. The last level was occupied by an attic which could sometimes communicate with the adjoining attics, thus allowing the neighbors to meet without needing to use boats. The stairs were in principle exterior to directly access the living room during flooding. These were however sometimes doubled by an internal staircase. The construction of the quays (“Surcouf” from 1850, “Marcel-Boissard” between 1860 and 1888) reduced the risk of the river overflowing. The last memorable major floods are those of 1910 and 1935.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, captains, including Cape Horniers, feeling cramped in fishermen's houses, had bourgeois houses built around the old village, provided with pleasure gardens characterized by the presence of exotic plants brought back from their distant travels.
Nowadays, the fishermen's quarter has the particularity of having colorful houses with original and personalized facades. Having become a “trendy” district of the Nantes conurbation, a number of artists and relatively well-off families have settled there.
Cinema
The filmmaker Jean-Loup Hubert came to shoot The White Queen with Catherine Deneuve in 1990. Some vestiges of the decoration put in place for the occasion remain in 2009. Claude Chabrol also came to shoot La Demoiselle d'honneur in 2005.
Trentemoult still inspires young filmmakers, for example for the short film Trentemoult.

The River Swale in Yorkshire England is a major tributary of the River Ure, which becomes the River Ouse that empties into the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. The name Swale is from the Anglo-Saxon word Sualuae meaning rapid and liable to deluge.
The River Swale is the northernmost tributary of the Yorkshire Ouse with its headwaters located in the eastern Yorkshire Dales above the hamlet of Keld, from where it flows in an easterly direction. After passing through the major settlements of Richmond and Catterick, the river flows southwards and joins the River Ure at Myton-on-Swale in the Vale of York. The Swale has a catchment area of 1446 km2 and a length of 118 km.

Well that’s what at least one of you calls us. Whether that’s because of the annual pasties per capita consumption figures that were recently announced after a long and highly liquid fuelled lunchtime survey by a group of undergraduates from the University of Redruth I’m not entirely sure. But suffice to say - you know that well known bakery chain with the blue, white and orange logo that seems to be a fixture on every high street in the land? Well I was shocked to discover that there are now as many as four of their outlets in our homeland west of the Tamar. Four! Hell, there’s even one in Truro! I’ve never been to any of them. Why would I when we’ve got award winning pasties all over the county? We’ve got Barnecutt’s, Berryman’s, Philp’s, Ann’s Pasties, Mary’s Pasties, Portreath Bakery, the Cornish Oven and many more besides. We don’t speak of those mass produced monstrosities from the far east by the way. And by “far east” I mean Callington, not China. Yes, the ones you see advertised on the telly. Nobody here would ever dream of touching one of those with the end of their fully extended tripod. Gr4ggs indeed! Whatever will they think of next? Thank goodness they haven’t reached Redruth yet, although I suspect it’s only a matter of time.
Anyway, rant over, and it was time for an audience with Mr Pedlar. You know him. Raconteur, sparkling wit and peerless master of Trebormint Strand somewhere up there beyond the city limits of Wadebridge in the frozen north. We’d agreed to meet at Trevose. Last time I invited him to join me here, he came up with some sudden and implausible jaunt on the other side of the bridge would you believe? I didn’t realise he even knew there was an “other side of the bridge.” He once told me the world stops at Saltash, after which there's a dark and gaping abyss that stretches away to eternity. I said “No Brian, that's just Plymouth. Their pasties are the wrong shape and they talk a bit funny, but they're all right really.” Still reeling from the blows of his heartless rejection, I went to Trevose alone and took some pictures anyway. But now I was in Wadebridge again, spending Father’s Day with my son; and his son who is two and a half and liable to run off in several directions at once, just to help me maintain my fitness levels. We passed the afternoon at their favourite local beach, and after a Father’s Day fish and chip supper with young Alfie sitting beside his Grandad, helping himself to my chicken nuggets, I headed for Trevose. This time Brian had confirmed that his diary was clear, having just finished chairing the village roadkill annual general meeting. It was a good job I’d eaten already. You have to be careful around these people who dwell at the edges of Bodmin Moor.
I arrived first, and disappeared over to the far end of the headland just like last time, sending our local hero details of where he might or might not find my remains if I managed to fall into the soup. There are definitely some more shots to be had there. I shall return with a plan soon. As I headed back to the top, a message came through on my phone. “I’m sitting in the place where I took that last shot.” Don’t look at that one of his by the way. It’s far too good. You’ll only spoil all of the other pictures that have ever been taken of Trevose Head Lighthouse for yourself. But nevertheless it was very nice to see him for the first time in almost two years and catch up on our various exploits. We talked about some of you. Bet your ears are burning. And where was Paul? Remember Shutterbug Paul? Brian has him on speed dial. As I’m not in such an exalted space, I asked him to urge Paul to return to Flickr. It was Paul’s love of a good yarn that inspired me to start adding all of these meandering tales to my own posts. You’re probably hoping he doesn’t make a comeback now I’ve told you that. Sorry.
It was a flat evening as far as the conditions went, both in the sea and sky, but that never really troubles me. I do like a challenge. Maybe there was just the tiniest hint of pink in those clouds. Really only a smidgeon, but perhaps enough to pick it up among the textures. Besides which, this outing was about slipping down a gear or two by the sea after chasing a toddler around the beach and enjoying the company of another grandfather and like minded soul - albeit one whose two best friends are Horace and Hoof, an imaginary pig and an imaginary horse who jointly own a 1968 Jensen Interceptor with go faster stripes and keep an intergalactic rocket ship hidden in an underground silo just outside Tintagel. Or are they imaginary? Maybe you know better than me. Perhaps that’s why we’re not allowed to visit Trebormint Strand unaccompanied. I’ve often wondered about that. Hope I don’t get vaporized by Horace and Hoof's spacecraft for giving away state secrets.
Yes, I know there are two of them, three rly (good number, no?). I mean as a star, a sun, something so bright you have to squint - and mebbe go blind.

Kevin is liable to pop up anywhere in either of the Twin Cities.
His beard is quite long, but he keeps it tied and braided at several points along its length. He walks so slow, that I wonder how he can be so many places at one time.
We usually have a chat, but he was napping when I got on, and remained this way after I got off I imagine.'
It was one of those warm, cold days when the sun is shining, and the brightness tricks you into thinking "Spring has sprung.".
There was something about this toning that appealed to me. Perhaps it reflected the sunny, warm, ambience, and the 3 riders seemingly content . . . content enough to nap.
So the toning kinds of picks up on that motif of the deceptive appearance of warmth on a cold winter's day.

Another riverside park dedicated to US veterans. I used to come out here lots of times in the late 90s-early 2000s when I was an art student at Henry Ford College, never did graduate, but that another story for another time. But this was one of my favourite hang out spots despite living on the other side of town. I’d have out my sketchbooks and Bristol board, and create whatever came to mind at that particular time, eat my pizza and drink my wine out here (I found out later that alcohol consumption was prohibited, so obeying Caesar’s laws, I’d have a Coke, Pepsi, or Faygo). It feels good to see this part of Downriver again. It appears to have held up very well during the pandemic. And because I stay so far away now, I make my stops sporadically in these parts-especially for practicing my photography. And yes, this shot on my iPhone, on a tripod-this time I REMEMBERED to use the remote instead of the shutter button which was/is liable to cause blurriness-I used the Slow Shutter app. And after multiple takes, this one served me the most justice. In other words, I’m pleased with the outcome of this image.

These two macaws are resident in the Casa de Colón. All visitors were warned that although the birds are talkative, they were also grumpy and liable to bite. We were told to keep our distance and not to try to touch them

Yup. I'm referencing a Whitesnake song in that title. It's been stuck in my head for a couple days, and I'm blaming John Oliver's latest episode about Guantánamo for that.
So, this morning on my way to get my shot I passed a man who'd been at the same location since about 6am. He was quick to tell me that I've missed the magic and that I should have been there sooner in the day. I found that rather discouraging and could only shrug and tell him "we must be chasing different spells." That seemed to confuse him and he continued along his way.
It's too bad, he had some interesting gear and I would have liked to talk more to him, but I guess he'd said his piece and was ready to move.
My cold is starting to go away today; still have a sore throat and am still dizzy, but I have more energy than I've had all week, so that's a plus!
Things are starting to look up!
Hope everyone has had a great Friday!

The River Swale in Yorkshire is a major tributary of the River Ure, which itself becomes the River Ouse, eventually emptying into the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. The River flows for 73.2 miles from its source at the confluence of the Birkdale Beck and the Great Sleddale Beck, near Birkdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Swale is from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Sualuae’ meaning ‘rapid and liable to deluge’. It is said to be the fastest flowing river in England, its levels have been known to rise as much as 10 feet in 20 minutes.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Had we our senses
But perhaps 'tis well they're not at home
So intimate with madness
He's liable with them
Had we the eyes without our head-
How well that we are blind-
We could not look upon the Earth-
So utterly unmoved-
Emily Dickinson - Had we our senses.
Originally from the Atlas Mountains and the Rif Mountains of Morocco, the Barbary macaque population in Gibraltar is the only wild monkey population on the European continent. Although most Barbary monkey populations in Africa are experiencing decline due to hunting and deforestation, the Gibraltar population is increasing. Currently, some 300 animals in five troops occupy the Upper Rock area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve, though they make occasional forays into the town. As they are a tailless species, they are also known locally as Barbary apes or rock apes, despite being monkeys (Macaca sylvanus). The local people simply refer to them as monos (English: monkeys) when conversing in Spanish.
The Gibraltar Barbary macaques are considered by many to be the top tourist attraction in Gibraltar. The most popular troop is that of Queen's Gate at the Ape's Den, where people can get especially close to the monkeys. They will often approach and sometimes climb onto people, as they are used to human interaction. Nevertheless, they are still wild animals and will bite if frightened or annoyed.
Deliberately feeding the macaques in Gibraltar is now an offence punishable by law. Anyone caught feeding the monkeys is liable to be fined up to £4,000.

Another one ( sorry -not -sorry ) captured during a flying display at the British Bird of Prey Centre. This owl happens to be my favourite but you have to be careful because she is so heavy, she's liable to thwack you on the head 😂
I thought I had never seen this butterfly, but......
This butterfly has white uppersides to its wings. It is only the males that have orange-tipped forewings; females have small black tips. In both sexes the undersides of the hindwings are mottled with moss-green. The orange tips warn predators that this butterfly is highly distasteful.
Orange-tips are common throughout lowland England and Wales, but are rarer in Scotland. Females lay single, pale, spindle-shaped eggs on the underside of flower buds. These eggs turn deep orange after a few days.
The caterpillars hatch and feed on the developing seed pod. They are green and extremely hard to spot. Orange-tip caterpillars are cannibalistic, liable to eat another of their own species should they meet. Each caterpillar leaves its foodplant to overwinter as a chrysalis, probably in bushes and tall vegetation. Adults emerge in April.
Espirit,
do you feel it?
or not,
especial...
that something, someone, somewhere,
unfounded,
unknown, as yet
just a key away from a song
escribe...
if you will,
your diary, your unwritten classic
free, as in freedom
clutch it, from thin air...
before it's lost in the storm
essence...
around you, fits perfectly,
always befitting nature, you know?
what calls also befalls,
over time,
within our lifetime
escape...
the slanderous liason with society
a scandal of our time,
liable for all it's own unnaccountables...
but not us, not I...we are the free,
riding the storm...

So it seems that Mole has escaped the rat race and taken to the open road - I think the others are all up at the front end of the caravan . I think they have a problem though because there was no sign of a horse - looks like the horse has legged it up the road leaving the caravan and all the characters behind . This is not surprising as a heavy old caravan with a bunch of odd characters liable to burst into song is not fun to drag along and as for that ear-worm of a song -- well try it and see !!
