A sky burial is a funeral practice in which a human corpse is placed in nature to decompose or to be eaten by scavenging animals, especially vultures. Itโ€™s particularly common amongst religious groups in places like Tibet and Bhutan.

Dropped a shilling in the charity box as we arrived back in Gods country. What a bunch of ATGNI boys at the SEOโ€™s. They were trying to get distant shots whilst it was doing flick flacks in front of us around the corner!

Jeff, where to start? There used to be three โ€˜countiesโ€™, South, Mid, West. Then it got really daft with unitary authorities. Kenfig NNR has been in Glamorgan, Mig Glam, Bridgend BC & now for recording purposes sits in East Glamorgan. Not unlike the mess over your manor, C.U.B.A.

Glamorgan is still a vice-county of course, vc41. Some people to the east of Offas Dyke sometimes refer to it as Glamorganshire but as you know itโ€™s not a shire county.

Had to wake Darth up EVERY morning after 7.00, and I quote โ€˜I had a terrible nights sleepโ€™. Bear in mind Rich & Sid had been up most of the night at the traps with the odd visit from me.

Our crew took two into Oman last year without problems. They did confiscate the two-way radios that were not returned however.
