Yellow shirt, black shorts, yellow socks and a hat, complete with baseball and mitt- boy went to school as Charlie Brown.

Not bad for twenty minutes with some spray paint...

I am more intrigued by the vegan toad in the hole. I assume that amphibians count as meat. Therefore by the same token as the fishless fish  we can also  assume that this particular delicacy is in fact completely toadless, and we would be served up with hole and veg :(

Hole and veg 

Or vaj and veg ?

Also the stew and dumplings (basically dough and root veg in (meat-based?) gravy) accompanied by bread (not acceptable to coeliacs/gluten-intolerants) and butter - a dairy product from a meat animal!

Surely the big question is: Stewed what? Maybe the butter is potato based. And are cottages vegan-friendly?

Received E-Mail from potential employer inviting me to an apprenticeship interview. I'm happy!

As in most situations neither of these alternatives is likely to be granted, the former should be the shiters choice ; )

Coming home today, a big surprise. I found myself attempting to keep up with a Ford. And once again got the message...."don't ever say there cannot be any of those in this country". T'was a Corsair Crayford Convertible. Doing more than the 100kph speed limit. 

This one, looking a bit poorly, paint was in a bad way, but obv.  Mechanically ok. 

I were grinning !

Those LED headlights look weird.

Today I went to the Morgan museum in Rolvenden (Kent). 

Well worth a visit; it's basically a blokes shed, filled with Morgans, Morgan-related tat, and non-Morgan related tat. On arrival, the chap at the entrance said 'It's through there, the light switch is in the right' which set the tone very well. 

It's not that big, but it's really packed in there-so much so that you won't be able to get into the second room if you're fat or clumsy. 

Locals are probably aware of it, but if you're passing through blink and you'll miss it so I thought it was worth mentioning. Worth every penny of the £4 entry fee.

All ov teh Morgans:

There are many cabinets filled with this sort of thing:

A Wankel mower engine!

Finally, the place from the outside which I forgot to photograph:

There's a shop at the front which sells the sort of non-car parts stuff you'd get at an auto jumble. 

9.5/10, would visit again.

The back end of that looks like a pickup; given by the bend in the middle, I'd say it was based on a Navarra.

Vitalite is vegan, so I am told.  My vegan-baker daughter says so anyway.

It may well be, but the board states 'bread and butter', so is misrepresenting, at least. Good on your daughter, but for how long does she bake her vegans?
