Went on a gorgeous 20 mile walk yesterday from Henley-on-Thames through the Chilterns to Chinnor. A light dusting of snow, red kites constantly wheeling overhead, beautiful sunshine - only hiccup was that my map told me Chinnor had a station to finish at.

It is a heritage station for steam trains.
Crossing the weirs at Hambleden Lock just north of Henley. Approaching Great Wood before traversing it south-to-north. A snowy scene in Grove Wood with low, late sun poking through the bare trees. Chinnor Station is not, in fact, a national rail station - and the steam trains weren't running.

It happened three times - each time at the goddamn dentist. Something about having my head laid allll the way back and then turned to the side.

YouTube just vanished the majority of your videos? This is what I'm seeing as your Latest videos on YouTube GB (and also YouTube US via VPN):
The current (1 Apr) latest video page for the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast - which is missing practically all of this year's videos.

Beware of attempting to correct spellings of "faze"; English is awful.
Chambers Dictionary entry for "faze" which lists no less than six alternate spellings: feese, feeze, phase, pheese, pheeze, or phese.

Some of them _have_ tie-downs - but that's not their only problem.
