Kendal Mint Cake is not my favourite, either, but it is an efficient sugar delivery system if one is caught out in extreme bad weather and needing of an energy boost. As I've recently been diagnosed as diabetic (type 2) it's definitely off my shopping list.

Those knitted post box covers have also made an appearance in Essex. Weird.

Great set, as usual. Keep up the good work, mate.

Cheers Jon. Perhaps your artists statements and my ridiculous notes could be combined. Kerching!

I have to say when I read your words I was a bit concerned about Ear Wax - then I saw the pictures! Thanks Paul - you brought a big smile to my Saturday morning.๐Ÿ˜

I do suffer from said condition. I spoke to both chaps after the photos were taken and we shared stories!

Thanks Joe. That has made a colourblind photographer very happy.

I used to love KMC when I was a kid: it was my drug of choice when I needed an instant burst of energy. The thought of all that sugar, now, though; and the taste so redolent of Olbas Oilโ€ฆ โ€“ ugh: just makes me want to vomit. Gimme Grasmere Gingerbread anytime (well, if they made a vegan versionโ€ฆ โ€“ which they donโ€™t).

You capture Kendalโ€™s quirkiness with the eye of an insider. Unfortunate that you had to witness people scraping their melted brains out through their earsโ€ฆ โ€“ but I suppose a World Cup is on, and it fills the time in between matches. I hope your trews fit.

Vomit inducing is the perfect description Stephen.

Quirky is also a very good description. Funny little town.
