Not the tin snails (it's on the August public holiday weekend at Snetterton if anyone is interested), but I did do the old Wilhire a few times - even sleeping in the car at the circuit even though it was only an hour from home.

I used to cover the Tin Snail 24 for Autosport back in the day, purely for the reason that I was local LOL... I'm 40 mins away in the other direction. Used to snatch naps in the car too. And subsist on pot noodles.

Sadly the Willhire is before my time, but I do have the programmes for 1990 and 1991 in my archive.

About 8 years ago I planted two of them in the garden. They've grown ... massively ... and each summer despite cutting completely back cover a large area with pink flowers.

The garden flowers start white (apple trees, strawberry plants and a bush of some sort), then turn blue (a large Ceanothus), then pink (the minature roses plus others), finishing in yellow (clematis) in the autumn.

Which is why I put the miniature bit in quotes Because it's one heck of a misnomer...

Morning all. Bit nippy outside again. Inside too. Days are definitely getting shorter. The sun is only just rising now.

Good morning. trying to see if I can combine trains and cycling on the way back to Freiburg to explore a bit if the Black Forest.

So far not much luck due to inconveniently placed hills.

I have two buddleja out the back that are going well this year, ones made 10 foot and the other 8 foot, they were sold as a miniature variety that would grow to a max 4 foot tall.

They always seem to be a bit on the large size

They were both pruned down to 2-3 foot tall in the spring.

I'm going to push a vacuum cleaner around the house this morning while MrsPete flicks stuff with a duster.
We might have to go to the shops later, too.

It is elementally really, but not ill elephant.

The element heats up the cooker.

BTW Did you hear about @Illaveago shooting an elephant in his pyjamas?



Illaveago never did work out why the elephant was wearing pyjamas, but he thought it would make a good photo.

Have you ever tried putting an elephant in your pyjamas? It's bl**Dy difficult !

 

[Illaveago]

Did Illaveago have another set of pyjamas?

Yes . I have some short ones for warm weather .
