seeing as Penrith is near Carlisle, and that is nearly Scotland, i pressed on up the A7 (what a road, barely a car in sight, lots of fun)  and found myself in Kelso.

so loaded up with supplies and headed for home

used a full tank of fuel just nipping to the shops ! 

and what a great little car that mx5 is, just loves being hooned round the twisties :)

They showed  4 episodes of Andy Pandy before that. God, that women’s voice was annoying.

Bod was brilliant.  Don't remember Ronnie Pickering being a children's TV presenter though - must be before my time.

Fortunately it wasn't actually armageddon just a book that @willswitchengage recommended.

Best book I've read in a long time. Harrowing, though.

At least if Amazon delivers the war, we know who to blame..?

Be grateful it added something, rather than removing anything.

I'm not a Land Rover fan but this has been up on stands for weeks in a front garden near where my son lives. Today it's out on the road looking just how a 60 year old Landy  should.

Sinsheim Technical Museum.

Tanks, tractors, jeeps, Cadillacs, planes, gliders, helicopters, Concorde, Tu-144 and now queuing to get on the u-boat.

 

I’m there at the end of October, really looking forward to it.

Have you allowed a whole day?

I should have done, they’re showing the new f1 movie on imax in the evenings.

Yes, I definitely don’t want to rush it.
