Thanks

If you go to your photo on line, right click, click properties and copy the URL from there. Back at the page here; go to the insert image and paste the URL there. Go Preview Post and see if it transfers. I had the same problem with AOL but got past it by using this method. It should work as I went to your photo and you can do it. Thought it better if you try it yourself.

Morzine - in the French Alps.

Nice tip, that works perfectly, thanks Pete!

Thurstaston Shore, Wirral, on a gloriously sunny and mild early November day. In the muddy Dee Estuary just past a high spring tide. Wish the rest of the winter could be like this.

Only 3 more to go!!!

I didn't. The pic was taken by a friend who'd run me up there. The "missing" limb was holding my waterproof camera as I was taking a pic myself at the time.

This was taken 29th October in the Irish Sea at Llandudno. Not at the Promenade but west of the Great Orme, near the Lewis Carroll monument. Behind me is the Conwy Estuary with Anglesey visible in the distance upper right. Water temp was 13.5C

The answer to Wildebeeste's question is an emphatic 'Yes'.

The question was 'Does my bum look big in this?'

Well I'm certainly not indulging in auto-eroticism. I'd have a bit of a job in water that cold.

Anyway I'm right-handed, and I don't have one overdeveloped wrist.

They're (almost) the same size.

Look carefully and you can find dinosaur fossils here!

Some of the more unkind SwimClubbers may say there's one standing in the water.

Seriously, yes I believe so. However despite spending my childhood nearby, and hours playing on theat beach I nver came across any. Of course that's probably 'cos I wasn't looking for them.
