  8. A very strange one yesterday, in the Ex-apple, plum and pear orchard a bonfire went out two weeks ago but a very small puff of white smoke was seen. For those that haven't joined up the dots yet.....new Pope announcement. Weird and wonderful things happen every day in our lives.
     
  9. Decided to check out the view from my east coast retirement office....
    Looking towards whitby from Larpool Viaduct

  12. Odd jobs round the house repair a little rendering and repoint a little bit of brickwork on the front bay.

    Tatted about with my GasGas700, as I remembered my Scrambler was out of MOT and needed a bike to have a burger from my local Wimpy.

  13. Thanks yeah, the white egg, I'm getting it ready for selling. Had it 10 years now, the last 5 since the summer of covid it was set up as a static. It was the cutest darned van on the site but just too small... Upgrade to a bigger wagon ongoing.

  15. Liberation day (yesterday).

    Unusual sight. I think it is called a Kettenkrad

    It looks like it has 12 wheels plus the front motorcycle wheel. Not sure what to make of it really. I suppose better off having it than not having it - but whether a Jeep is a better idea.

  17. Liberation day is a good show, especially in the sunshine. A lot of effort goes into it by ordinary people and families. Lots of people dressing in period dress. Were you driving a historic vehicle ?

    A few old vintage Rolls Royces this year.
