Something for the ladeez
No its not pictures of John Rapley in a Borat wresting outfit but shoes…
A Blue Turtle and a Thunderball on The Cob.
Still jet-lagged from the red sea and after a quick change of kit, I set off early on Friday morning to Lyme Regis with nine out of the twelve on the Blue Turtle (Dougie’s boat) also from the red sea trip along to sample the delights of british diving again…
