# I saw my best rainbow ever on Sunday
I was driving over the Cheviots and the rain was really really really fine and the sun was shining hard and the rainbow it made was very vibrant and looked very close

it was excellent.

# he has been seen recenetly
sporting a jaunty golden jewel encrusted crown - but I thought he'd been made King of Belgium or something...
