Oh dear! Sorry probably shouldnt laugh, but we all have those days at least both will grow out/fade fairly quickly...

Ah! That makes sense. Thanks. Stupid Brexit.

When does he arrive? ;)

Sorry a very confused lurker (for the photos and new pony excitment), I thought he was coming from Spain? Is he doing Spain - Ireland - England?
