Had a really weird dream last night.

I was on the tv programme Taskmaster, and we were told to go to Gerkhinworld* in North Yorkshire. When I was changing trains, I dropped the ring binder I was carrying, onto a lower concourse, when I finally retrieved it, it was wrapped in that cling film stuff you wrap your bags in at the airport, when I opened it, it had a cooked lobster inside.

*Gerkhinworld does not exist, North Yorkshire, apparently,  does.

Just been browsing the Maps on my phone, discovered Pendleton, New York, close to Buffalo, but huge stolen names, including Hamburg, Holland on the same road out as Yorkshire, quite a way from Bliss, but just up from Warsaw, Letchworth & Leicester, Java, Batavia & Dunkirk get honourable mentions.

They should've consulted the locals rather than killing them?

Is your home town mentioned in a colony?

Hastings, NZ, has a suburb called St Leonard's bizarrely.

Is it Latrine?

House prices in Leeds are much higher than Bradford. Coprophilia, I expect.

Spooky or what?

On the Spuggies and jackdaws thread Robin posted that he’d heard a cuckoo. Out of interest I googled cuckoo, I haven’t heard one for years. This is what google came up with

Before today I’d never heard of Nomansland.

Do you know Mr Lankford?

I don't know him but I think I've spoken to his wife on the village facebook page 

Mrs Shadow and I were out for a walk on Sunday across the open area behind the sign in my post and heard a cuckoo.
