Overcast, blustery and drizzly here chez Casa Witty.
This morning, I picked my strawberry (yes, the only one), wrapped up a birthday present and then made a parcel ready to take to the post office later, and I processed a kilo of limes in preparation for making orange & lime marmalade.
It is almost time for luncheon.

1950s Grand Prix cars by the sound of it.
There's a scalextric Alfa 155 Supertouring (#55) up for sale on the bay if you're that way inclined. Saw it and thought of you.
Which reminds, there are two items ending today that I've got my eye on, which I mustn't forget to put a bid on... One looks like a shoo-in, might be a bit of a bun fight for the other.

It is a good year for the rowan berries by the looks of it. Very nostalgic as my wife said it was a rite of passage to make rowan jelly every year. I have a shepherd's crook I used to pull down the branches to reach more berries. I cannot bring myself to do it now on my own.
Out today along a shoreside road and the smell of rotting seaweed takes me back to my childhood and also the sound of curlews which I have not heard for ages.
I sometimes feel very old and alone.

I worked on Derek Warwick's Vauxhall Network Q racing car trailer when it was being built at Spectra coach builders in Westbury. I helped mask out the interior before it was sprayed . I might have helped mask out the roof as well.1950s Grand Prix cars by the sound of it.

That was a very fine lunch. Two slices of granary toast, one with mortadella, t'other with some shquishily ripe gorgonzola, plus a pear, a peach, one strawberry and two 
My home grown strawberry was very nice, btw.

That would've been Triple Eight for the touring cars.
Network Q sponsored the rally cars BITD, as well as sponsoring the RAC Rally (now Rally GB)

I can buy a bicycle for that!
Just had another look at the listing. Classic case of a seller not knowing their apples from their pears. It's a 1995 car alright, but it's the Gabriele Tarquini one - different door number.
