In my more adventurous days, I have come down Totman cove at low tide to get there.<br /> Perhaps when you get a bit older and possibly stiffer, you'll pull on a pair of sweatpants upon arising to keep your nether regions warmer while in that bathrobe or its replacement.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-77605650230407469372010-01-25T08:46:28.870-05:002010-01-25T08:46:28.870-05:00Thanks, Robin.
