One’s wife’s a bit fond of a spliff,
Or maybe some coke,
It’s okay to choke,
Her as part of a family tiff

In the pursuit of taking that last picture, Richard O’Flynn, of the Best Photos of Baltimore, lost his daughter’s bag.
He writes:
“After a super morning watching 7 or 8 fin whales and hundreds of dolphins feeding off the stags this morning I went and left my daughter’s Peppa Pig bag with a torch in it and my Helly Hansen jacket down at the parking area in Church Strand at 12.30 and someone had picked them up before I got back. Please share or my daughter will never speak to me again. They may have been handed in somewhere already.”
Anyone?
