October is here. Being a relatively recent viewer of Twitter (handy for receiving and sharing info' on occasion) there's the inevitable optimism (rightly so) regarding possible "corkers" that might arrrive this month. Having already had a nibble I'm looking forard to the 14th when we'll be heading for my (still) favourite location; the wonderful Isles of Scilly. It's not just the birds...it's the whole experience...besides, Louise likes it!
