What do they do in the unit opposite that has this steady stream of ££££ cars coming and going?

I believe it's storage for RM Sotheby's auctions when awaiting it's day for going under the hammer.

Penultimate compulsory MoT completed! 

Only 737 miles between MoTs! The lowest since the online records began and only just over half the mileage of the previous couple of years. I think this is a pointer that I need to use it more!

I am visiting family in Lincs. Down the road is Halls Garage, an MG specialist. I popped in to say 'hi' and promised I'd return with the Maestro once the weather improves. They were really friendly bearing in mind we dropped in unannounced. 

It's an interesting little place. Service and repair garage for 'normals' with a forecourt of BL chod thoroughbred sports cars. Nice little 'mini museum' inside. 

Recommended - it's on the A15 north of Bourne.

A friend of mine used to work there for years and Halls have been there even longer than that.  Said friend is in a different field of work these days and enjoying their new job.

They advertise a lot in the MG press and have done for many years as far as I remember.

I ordered this part and ... 1. Bolt hole won't line up, 2. Twist on connector wouldn't go on.

 

 Balls....

A few here and there, and some fat bumble bees floating about already.

When the wind was blowing earlier you could see the pollen coming off the trees like a snow storm.

Yes, I had a bumble bee yesterday morning, as I was having a teams meeting. Had to usher it back outside.

Speak for yourself!

I walked ten km in berks yesterday. Countless drinks cartons on the side of the road, seven nitrous oxide canisters, two abandoned transit vans with police tape, etc. and most was along the jubilee river area. Plus one broken footbridge.
