Good morning. Lovely memories. Iā€™m not local so I still get very excited crossing the river – but so far no streamers!

Happy days.
These days I drive over the latest of the bridges without the same excitement and no streamers.

Good evening Iain. There are many folly treats in that part of Scotland that will have escaped your notice as a child (although I suspect the joys of the silver sands was more than enough fun). Perhaps a return visit is needed?

How I wish I’d known what a folly was in those distant days.I knew West Wycombe well but didn’t know I was seeing follies
