Good morning everyone

 

Some sunshine here, may get some showers today.

 

Ros, I'm glad you survived - just about. I hope you survived last night as well

 

I hope everyone has a good day

On the news today, the discovery of the fossil of a new species of parrot which was about a yard tall. It's been named Heracles inexpectatus.

 

Link to an article about it. There's a picture of the parrot but there's a copyright notice on it so I won't show the picture here.

This was on the BBC local news just now. It's about some colour film from the 1930s about life in Great Rissington. That's in Gloucestershire near the Oxfordshire border. It's between Bourton on the Water and Burford.

Afternoon El and Buddies    

 

Not much happening. Just conversation in the best of company going over family and the past.

 

Quite a lot of auction programmes on tv. Can't beat the excitement of the real thing. The good old days   

 

Hope all are hunky dory and Bramble's keeping you on your toes Sweet

Afternoon Velvet

 

Never been to an auction. Closest was years ago at the local church fete when they were holding a min auction. Bid and got a print called "The Great Race". Shows a steam train "Criccieth Castle number 5026". Used to be a passenger train in the days of steam then became a goods train. Rescued from the scrap year and restored. You can see the restored train via:

It's racing a Bentley 4.5 litres car such as this one:

So a very atmospheric picture. It was a limited edition print, so limited that I can't find any online.

Love vintage Bentley's. Quite a lot are Frankenstein's though. Stanley Mann was the go to.

 

I'd have a Low Chassis Invicta S-Type first.

 

Could never really get Hastings' car in Poirot.  That was tasty.

Evening all 

Weather was a mix of sunshine and showers 

Mr Y and I were out and about and managed to miss all but one of the showers 

El, that parrot was huge! 

Great pics of the steam engine. I love steam trains.

Velvet, nothing beats good conversation in good company  

All is well here, Moonie. Hope it is with you too

Good evening lovelies I hope you’re all well and having a pleasant evening 

it’s been hot & sunny here today, so just a gentle, late walk in the shade of woodland. But I have had a fabulous day that fully embraced my introvert nature I’ve read, bathed, pottered and created a huge vision board! (Something that I’ve been “meaning to do” for a long time)

Good morning everyone it would seem that all is well with the Buddies and that's the way I like it to be. 

 

Velvet take the last thought in your latest post VERY seriously! It really is a matter of life and death

My faith is strong squiggs. Don't be fooled by appearances on here. I know the real deal and science won't beat it
