My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[Richard A Thackeray]

Are those 'suicide doors'?

My daughter had her 'Prom' on Thursday 22nd, & my wife knows the guy who owns this Leyland, & talked him into picking a party of excited 16 year olds up

Then deliver them to a Hotel, that's on a stretch of the 'Great North Road' that caused annoyance, fear. & definitely time-loss to travellers from the 15th/16th (maybe earlier), right up to when it was bypassed in the late 60's/early 70's

This is the road that was the issue, post 1830s (it took a different route then, & was steeper!!)

The start of the 'north cutting'

Took Mr m down to our local wee pebble beach today.
Cycled down, left the bikes and did some exploring.
Sat on a rock for a while soaking up the scenery and peace and quiet.
2 boys were going on a fishing trip

I met Dame Judy Dench today

She didn't smell to bad

I'm bricking it just a bit, as next Sunday I'm playing Bach's 2nd Brandenburg Concerto, and it's a beast. I wasn't even drunk when I said "yes". I'll actually need to do some serious practice...

Depends on the trumpet - the fourth valve on this one puts it down to F, but on Bb/A piccolo trumpets, the fourth valve gives a low note that's needed.

How the hell do you clip crampons to your pedals

 

[The_Weekend_Report_Guy]

Took a Scottish friend that came back to ride with me around here twice this week...

From Friday...

His words? This is my favorite part of Spain... Despite the heat... There was beer and food at the end of the ride..

Thanks for coming again Paul..!!
