Went to that Daikoku thingy place where all the car people hang out. There’s a monsoon so few people went but some pics anyway… white Elise was great. I terrified the owner by attempting to talk to him.

This is from 2015…

The teapot was designed to enhance the horticultural event’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party concept in the grounds of the Duke of York Square in south west London. 

The installation features two bar stations inside that serve up the British summer drink. Designed to look like an old lady’s living room, the interior has been decorated with retro wall paper, antique-style cupboards and framed pictures to match the history of Pimm’s.

I'm in front of the magistrate today in Ipswich for reasons tedious and boring. Have delayed my start at work in the Cotswolds to attend and will be making my way across country when done here. 

The grin is that i decided to turn this into a mini adventure and break up the journey by travelling up last night. 

Spot of wild camping on the Suffolk coast.

Set up in darkness though when i woke in the morning seems I choose well.

Forgot the filters so coffee in a sock

Was followed by a swim

Lovely start to the day. Hoping the magistrate had a great morning too and is feeling the love.

Chopped Atrai?

[motorpunk]

this made my day… the Japanese bloke on the right, there’s a virtual curly-wurly to the first person to guess who he is. You wouldn’t expect him to daily an Abarth 500 or have a small collection of historic racing cars either.

clue; born from an egg on a mountain top.

ps - he’s a neighbour of someone I’m working with

They are the best of the lot. I used to buy big bags of them from fleetwood market then make myself quite unwell by eating them all at once.

Watching a video of a Bedford OB bus. Nothing beats a vehicle with a gearbox that sounds like an air raid siren.

The one Dad rode in back in the day had a registration number that started DUD ***. Bucket list vehicles include bikes with DUD, MUD and PUD registration numbers (but not if they have suffix date letters).
