Generally nice with much warmth at Moffat today. Some little showers later with lots of thunder resounding around the nearby hills.
We assembled for the annual run out

Where suspected carburettor problems brought us to a halt. Maybe the heat was too much, but it’s ok again for now.
 
Some enchanted evening ??.
On the terrace. Clothes minimal, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors..
Child Bride comatose on the shade lounger, her assistant, off duty.
A mob of Azure Winged Magpies has crashed in, scaring off the busy Swallows, Swifts and Martins.
Another hour and we'll have to get ready for the fiesta.
It's all go, you know.
 
overcast...windy...much cooler.......no sunshine......apart from about half hour early morning...............it did get a bit too hot yesterday tho.
red kestrel been floating and swooping around for the past few weeks..........interesting to watch.......as im sure there is one bird who tries to chase it away......

all take care
 
Very quiet this morning.
38 degrees at 8.30, in the sun.
We arrived at the village centre at 10, as the music started. The locals we're up and dancing,straight away.. 70% of whom were ladies of advanced years. There was beer or sangria on tap, sardines sizzling away, rankly.. The Directors turned up their noses,( liberally).
There is nothing nicer, after a couple of beers, than to have a slice of traditional loaf, with a fat, slightly charred sardine on top, in your hand. You tear the fish apart, cramming lumps into your mouth . Wipe your fingers on the bread and bung what's left under the table.. Only now, they provide rubbish bins..
Management settled for a Bifana.. Thin slices of pork, fried in garlic and piri piri oil,lathered with creamy mustard...all in a papo seco.., ( dry tit )..bread bun.
The traditional marchers, from the big town, arrived at 2350. Spectacular 30 minutes display. Then they we off to perform somewhere else.
Other groups of marchers were due to arrive throughout the night, but we knocked off at 1.3WP_20190629_23_34_26_Pro.jpgWP_20190629_23_39_17_Pro.jpg
 
I'm now back in Hertfordshire under a mainly blue sky with a gentle breeze wafting air at about 18°C over a heap of washing out in the garden.
I really do have to say that it's good to be back on the Beautiful Island. 'Foreign' is good to visit, even for protracted periods - but one appreciates just how special this island is on one's return.
I've just been looking through the C&CC magazine and have been inspired to catch up on visiting more of our island through the summer. So hopefully I'll be seeing some of you folks in the coming weeks.

Colin ???
 
bright and sunny, warm, early morning....now overcast, breezy..........

oh dear, what wrong with the little car........you did mention that you had problems with it when you were at the car rally...........hope it gets home ok......

Home now, ran like a dream after stopping twice over the weekend. Patched with some scrap ht leads. Lots of new bits will be fitted before it’s out again.
