I'm back 
Normal service from Casa Reynard is resumed. Have returned to being biffed by Poppy and mum having cooked the clutch on the car - had to get a cab back from the station. Have already had a quick looksy, only reverse (albeit very crunchy / grindy) and 5th, so not going to be going very far very fast.
Off to the garage in the village by pedal power in the morning to see if I can't sweet-talk them into doing a rush job as I really do need some working wheels next week. Fortunately I can get a lift to the show on Saturday.

Morning. I don't think my day could get much better. My flat tyre is flatter than a flat thing. It's raining so I'll be getting wet whilst trying to inflate it.
The weather forecast for Sunday's Choo Choo trip reckon that there will be a gert big storm heading our way.
And to cap it all the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have just said that all of their Merlin engined aircraft are being grounded, so the Bournemouth event will be partially scuppered.

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Rain and more rain on the beach. Thankfully I managed to oil the garden furniture yesterday.
In other news I'm liking raw linseed oil on my carving. I have a lovely Elm chair to bring back to life soon and am thinking of using the linseed on it.

Beautiful sunny morning, though quite breezy. What a contrast from last night when the cloud/fog was so low / thick, that we couldn't see St. Michael's Mount or even the sea at one point.

What? No cakes, biscuits, sandwiches, fruit juices, water or proper coffee? No Guardian, Independent, or choice of magazines? No individual TV screens or iPads with a high speed internet connection?

I managed to get out and test the work I carried out on my wheels last night with a quick ride on my Albion. It wasn't far about 1 mile but it was nice to have a potter.
I'll try and pump my tyre soon and then get some new tyres fitted.
