A bottle of bright orange gloop arrived in the bathroom this week. Written on the clear plastic bottle in big letters was the phrase ‘Dirty Beastie’. This sort of hinted it maybe for us.
Flood tiles, bedding plants and more Roman Frontier work discovered.

Checking the latest weather here in the north of England it would appear that it is almost 26C (79F). So mum has decided we need our fur clipped.
