Chaps, thanks for the comments. I’ve said elsewhere … I’m amazed at how often I get a half reasonable shot at the most unexpected of times. After the bad day we had I wasn’t even going to take the camera but did, just at the last minute, just in case ……. Funny old world init

But Sir, this was before we were formally introduced! At that time I would never have dreamed of making such an advance to the Laird of Cornwall prior to us first having made acquaintance through a mutual third party. Otherwise malicious intent may be suspected I would be chancing a slap across the face with a buckled glove and pistols at dawn. If the regiment found out I could be ostracized.
However now, having made your acquaintance and seen what a jolly fine chap and all round good egg you are, I would never insult you by visiting your fair island without making appointments for the exchange of fair talk, the clicking of mechanized shutter contraptions, a visit to Mrs Miggin’s pasty shop and the partaking of large quantities of alcoholic beverages. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant
I managed to stable the faithful steed for the duration on a piece of land a few streets behind the harbour by proffering a small amount of coinage to some chap (from the lower orders but a cheery soul nonetheless) employed for the purpose. Some local landowner maximizing financial reward from a piece of private land in a preferential location I’d hazard a guess.
