Currently in the Conservative Club in Woodhall Spa, cheapest booze in the village. Anyone interested in the 1940s should look this up. Lancaster and Spitfire did low flyovers a minute ago.

Shouldn't be any problems.

I'm going to look at a real tarmac shredder, and a convertible one at that. I'll be fighting the chicks off with a pointy stick.

That's a lovely little car, I'd really like one but SWMBO says noooo. My neighbour has a black sporty one, looks great.

That'll be the rehearsal for the London flypast on Tuesday lunchtime.

There used to be a 2CV in Milton Keynes me that had a giant wind up key sticking out the boot lid, and it turned as the car went along. Looked marvellous.

It seems daft to have 1500kg of metal or more to move 110kg of human. Next stop in a year of so will deffo be an electric car.

I think the trouble with electic cars is the battery life and how much will thy cost if they need replacing......more than the car is worth, but it is the way forward.

They do it every year for the event I was at, only 4 miles from where they park up.

Bet you're glad you went on your bike(s)! My SiL had to take a very convoluted route from the NE side of Woodhall Spa to visit her son on the S side.
I keep wondering about taking my Civil Defence greatcoat (1952, so slightly late), but it's hot as hell for winter wear - can't contemplate it in this weather, when I'm already wearing less than would be considered decent in the prim Broadway in Woodhall!

We go there often on the bikes for rehydration purposes. Straight out the back door and off road all the way there. It sure was busy but a great even all the same.

If you're going back on the riverside way it might be worth popping into the Railway Inn to compare prices....
do you still have to leave this for the road before getting back to Bardney village (not that it's a particularly busy road!)?

I thought you was keeping the pension book special for a few years

Struggling a bit with my shoulder lately, makes driving in traffic uncomfortable, hence made the switch to an auto.

We use The Railway, it serves a nice ale but works out at £8 for a pint and a glass of wine. No need to leave the path in summer, but often do in winter. I can see the path from the house.
