Holidays to Syria maybe?

I've seen these coaches around Gloucester for a number of years but never had the chance to take a photograph. So while stopped at a red traffic light I chanced my arm and took a shot.
Remember when ISIS (usually referred to as 'The so-called Islamic State in Syria') was sometimes referred to as 'Daish', with various spellings? It was the French that started using the Arabic name  as they, quite rightly, would not refer to it as being a 'State' in any way. Daish is 'Dawlat al-Islamiyah f'al-Iraq wa al-Sham', al-Sham being Arabic for Syria.

The other photographs are the boys, Buddy and Hendrix, being dropped off at school with their Easter eggs. Something to do with Comic Relief/Red Nose Day which raises millions of £'s for children's charities. I believe today is to be the last  in a string which started in the year 2000.

And the 'Worm Farm'. Signs that it is beginning to get a little warmer, but still damp. The photograph is around the top of the compost bin, which I lifted this morning when emptying vegetable and fruit waste into it. Always a good sign and worms are so good for the garden.
