Morning everyone 🌞

You told me I was the one
The only one who got your head undone
And for a while I believed the line that you spun

But I've been lookin' at you
Lookin' closely at the things you do
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to

70's


This is called Howzat (or spelled similar it's how they say how's that in cricket )

It's a rock group, similar to Foreigner but it's not that .

Random rummage through our music brought this up yesterday and I thought someone might appreciate it

It can't be found no way at all

And this could not be found, much to our surprise

Just beware

Correct Shiny for Howzat, by Sherbert 👍

Honeyroar, if I'd panned my camera to the left it would've been a different picture! We walked from Ainsdale through pinewoods to Freshfield, so not quite Formby but it was much quieter.

Evening everyone. Is there anything left to guess?

Ok so I have to think of a menu based on you guys?
Well obviously Rocky Rogues! Kate blueberry Bush muffins, spiced shiny apple toddies, butterfly cake (beware I might also sell midge repellent!). Hot chocolate with whippered cream. Crepuscular cappuccinos. Carnage cookies. Pantry pastries. Coffee and walnut cake. Dexter dog treats. Just struggling with Need to know and milkshake!
