I'm going to have a rest .
The fairies have decided to visit .

So you'll be away with them later.

Local Lidl limits the sale of everything in the store to max of 6 same items per person. I didn't notice any panic buying recently.

A change in the weather it seems. The heavy rain this morning has changed into unbelievably heavy rain this afternoon.

I went for a good walk in the woods this morning. But when I got back to the hotel room I discovered that I didn't have my room key anymore. So, off I go to retrace my steps, this time with my eyes glued to the ground. No joy, so off to reception to grovel. It turns out that someone had found it and returned it to reception while I was still on my first lap. This explains why I didn't find it.

In other news, I'm eating gooseberries, bought from a stall in a layby. Ages since I've seen them on sale in London.

10km bike ride before breakfast. The hilly bit in it is getting both easier and quicker which possibly means I should be trying other hills.

After breakfast, a trip to a friend's open studio. Turns out he is rather good with a set of pastels.

Warm, breezy and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I am currently listening to the F1 from Paul Ricard while eating a piri piri chicken and mozzarella toastie.

Paul is fine @Illaveago

At the risk of upsetting our Scottish & Irish correspondents, it's a beautifully sunny and warm day trackside in Norfolk, if somewhat breezy. Spotted the smoke from a field fire in the distance earlier and the wind is picking up a lot of loose dirt from the pig farms in the area.

My eyes and ears are currently being pleasured by a MK2 Ford Capri fitted with a 5 litre V8

I was sat outside watching the Mens Wet Short Contest (aka 35km walk) but decamped indoors as the wind has really picked up and is blowing all sorts of tree fuzz all over my laptop and into my tea.

A dreadful day with heavy rain.
My nearest neighbour did not take down his gazebo which is now an ex gazebo. I think he had a late night and too well refreshed probably to remember to take the cover off.
We had a market stall and in any rain the roof had to be bar tight and even then it had to be cleared of rain pooling on top or it would collapse which would not be good for our stock on sale.
Coastguard rescue teams had to rescue campers at the head of Loch Lomond where the River Falloch empties into the loch.
We used to free camp regularly further up Glen Falloch at first with bikes and later with a car using our Black's Good Companions tent. We had two small children at that point with us as well but we all fitted into the tent.
This was the same tent we did our continental tours with as well. Lightweight by the standards of the time but by present standards very heavy.

Our top box did fit in our car .
I can't seem to regulate my temperature . One minute I'm cold and the next I'm not .

Probably akin to a Blackpool tram under heavy braking... 🫣
