Small pleasures

Whitebait salutes the small pleasures of Little Britain. This time in the form of the people's sensible choices re urban vehicles to get them around the city. The vast majority of cars here are small, sleek and European. Nowhere near the number of oversized 4WDs (SUVs) that make the streets of Australia such a nightmare (in terms of the safety of bloggeurs and the ecological footprints of same vehicles).

Damn it is cold here. Whitebait woke to snow yesterday morning. Then is was off to the Cheddar Gorge in Somerset (not made entirely of cheese as expected) for a spot of rambling around the hills and farmland. Freezing but beautiful. The town at the base of the cheddar gorge is, err, a bit cheesy but had many unique pieces of kitsch and some nice cider and cheese. Most interesting material to be found was about the existence of Cheddar Man. (Whoops, time is up - the library has no mercy).
