Hello,
I'm currently not posting to this blog, so I have disabled comments. This is to reduce the amount of spam being dealt with which has been the sole source of comments on here for over a year.
Rest assured that all comments are Moderated, so you won't be seeing anything that's offensive or advertorial.
I've also disabled backlinks, so there's no point in a spammer leaving a comment.
If you're a genuine commenter, then I'm sorry to inconvenience you. Do email me at vegplotting at gmail dot com if you still have something to say :)
Best wishes,
VP

such fabulous colors in that architecture!
Petoskystone - and to think it was very nearly demolished. Thanks to John Betjeman (one of our famous poet laureates) it was saved, hence the statue.
