Umm, that's:
I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good

Dammit, man. I've just had to fire up Clementine to listen to it :-)

Your true self is showing.

BTW have you been listening to Hut 33, set in Bletchley Park?
Radio 4 extra.

Yes please, thank you. I like those different flavours caressing my palate.

I suspected as much, at least for some of the photographs I have seen.

Yes, I did notice them and shall have to add them to the model(s) I am 
building. Not that they will be particularly visible considering the 
scale of the scene, but they may serve again in the future and there is 
some foreground I have to provide for too.

I did not know that one. Google shows me it is a fairly young distillery.

Good job, it must be hard to select the sea-area in photoshop to fill it
in blue, its shape is so difficult. You did not miss even the smallest
pixel. :-J

Impressive.

True indeed. The house took me a couple of hours but the sea took me the 
best part of the last two weeks with finest brush I could select in 
Photoshop  :-)

Indeed founded 2005 stated by Wikipedia. This year they have their first 6 years
bottled release out. If you like whisky it is worth a try. I just purchased my
first bottle....

Best regards,

I have a couple of others coming.

Note that while they look great at a distances, they may become 
disappointing at close range. I try to get the best of both worlds. ;-)
