Or a Cumbrian cafe that specialises not in cetacean skeletons but TBHs and bikes? Something for Jon as well as Doris.

Well both of us would need to pay an additional ferry crossing and Doris would have a hell of a trek before encountering the delights of Cumbrian cupcake and a decent cycle rack.
Popz - would you by chance be the one and same Popz from the Sea Life Surveys ? or am I totally wrong ?
One and the same Popz, Marion. You've outed him! Not that he's been shy about coming forward with his interests on here.
Took a while for me to put 2 and 2 together but the penny finally dropped ! So if you're reading this Popz we have met before whilst you were up here in Mallaig. We spoke at the top of the linkspan about the recent sightings around here [ hubby works for Calmac - he's the pleasant one - not the rude one ! ] but I didn't know you were a beekeeper at that time - and I hadn' t started then anyway. Regularly send sightings to HWDT myself during the summer months. Seems I may have blown your cover - good luck with this years trips [ and bees of course ] and I'll look you up when we're next on Mull.
Well they do say you learn something new every day!

"The king had the right to the head and the queen had the right to the tail."
I believe that Sturgeon also belong to the crown. One Sam Small had to take one he caught to t' king.
Hi Jon - you called?
I have come back to have a look around and to see if the air is clear of pesticides again.
I have spent a lot of time researching, and maybe I have developed too much of a sting in my tail to be very good company on here... You want me to come back - but don't they say 'Be careful what you wish for?'
Let's see, I'll try to catch up on the latest news and gossip and on the who's-who.
I'll also have to get myself a new link for my signature line, the current one is maybe too controversial.
I have always liked the Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and found an interesting version - for all you music and bumblebee fans, here's one you haven't seen/heard before:

- Unfortunately it's not complete, so I'll probably keep looking for something better.
Actually, I think we could have quite a lot of fun on here again,
Doris
