[Norfolk Olly]

There's a road like that from Rhayader to Aberystwyth.....a proper motorbike road ......unfortunately loads of accidents

Yes that was a good one coming home from Aber in the xr2 after an evening socialising at the college

Today we have had a new garden shed / summer house erected, so now mrs BL can remove all of her garden stuff from my garage and our youngest and her friends can go into the summer house side and make as much racket as like out of my earshot .

Hallgate timber in Long Sutton built this . We did a screenshot of one we saw on the net changed the dimensions and they built it for us . 3/4 “ loglap with a damp membrane ,insulation and tongue and grove on the summer house side .

Bit more done today to tidy up around our new shed . I’m sure being at home is harder work than my proper job .

Taking youngest to Uni for his first term….we stopped off at Silverstone for a break on the way….
Wandered in to the stands….it was a club day …members turning up in their own cars to have a thrash around the circuit…
Everything on the go…Ferraris down over….
What was the fastest car on the circuit?
An extremely well sorted Mk 1 Golf….combination of the car…the driver…and the fear of the Ferrari drivers of pranging their pride and joy….
Never forgot the sight of that Golf exiting the corner onto the home straight…screaming past anything on the track…

No, nearly popped it a couple of times already.

So attitude now really is fudge it!
