Of storms, heartthrobs and Darby O'Gill

The latest "annoyingly named storm" currently swamping the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers is called "Aiden".

The spelling may be different, but any excuse for some gratuitous pictures of the lovely Mr Turner...

Drooling aside, sad news has arrived today - the "archetypal James Bond" Sean Connery is dead.

Mr Connery was well-known for his "hard-man" roles, but in just about every part he played, there was always that slight twinkle in his eye that said he wasn't taking himself entirely seriously...

...which is probably just as well in this early role, in which he was called upon to sing!

RIP, Sir Thomas Sean Connery (25th August 1930 – 31st October 2020)

    1. He's going to be appearing in a new series all about Leonardo daVinci next year, so expect excess beardiness covering that pretty face... Jx

      He can't not look hot though, can he?

  5. "Where'sh ma fuckin' shubmarine?"
    I'll step aside now. It wouldn't do to get into an unseemly scrap with Scarlet...
