It's taken at the bottom of the track down to the shore from my house (although I would usually walk out of my garden and down the croft).

Therefore, once we come across it, we should stick to it and keep that particular business running, so that efforts to achieve good quality are rewarded.<br /><br />What is it about the VW bus/camper/van? I noticed it last summer in England: the VW bus was everywhere - it came printed on tea towels and aprons, pictured on mugs and calendars, and as ornaments for bookshelves etc. In Germany (where of course it is originally from - my Dad drove an orange one in the 1970s) it has nearly disappeared. Most people now go for ridiculously oversized SUVs and drive them only in town. We call them "Mutti-Panzer", "Mommy Tanks", because it's mainly young mothers who live in the suburbs who drive SUVs to take their offspring to kindergarden, elementary school and ballet lessons.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-33357713879044255232016-02-02T05:04:49.323+00:002016-02-02T05:04:49.323+00:00I've not eaten at Cote myself (I've not be...I've not eaten at Cote myself (I've not been back to the UK for decades), but I have friends who eat there regularly, at the Brighton branch.
