a 7 year old telling us what he’d learnt at school about WW2.. all good stuff, although I did have to correct him when he said the blackout was to avoid having bombs dropped on you by Lancaster bombers 😉

Full marks to the Dealers

Webbs ??

what made me smile yesteday… finishing ‘work’ a little early and tripping over my birthday pressie in the kitchen, which i wasnt supposed to see till next Tuesday 🙂

no its a Triumph.. the Guzzi has been on Summer duties and is now tucked up in the shed 🙂 I dont do much winter riding but can normally get out at least once a week till January, which is when the weather normally turns. only local bimbles so the lack of screen isnt a problem, the biggest advantage of the triumph is the plastic panels and no chrome, so easy to clean.. 🙂

getting the ‘winter’ bike out of hibernation and going for a 100 mile ride, just to make sure all was ok 🙂

turned out nice again up in The Wolds 🙂

His first-hand recollections of his attack, describing heading into the fjord from the north to minimise exposure to anti-aircraft fire, and his description of the ultra clear Arctic sky above Norway nearly seven decades ago, were simply spellbinding. .

yes I remember hearing him speak about this at an event at the Petwood Hotel.. you could hear a pin drop..

sad news, RIP.

sound of a merlin bimbling around overhead this morning… and t’other half being able to bend her knee, a week after getting her new one.. 🙂

still expecting gusts up to 30kts here this afternoon… touch wood we’re normally ok when the weather comes from the south/south west as it dumps on Jim first 🙂 not so good with easterlies as theres not much between here and the Urals !
