I was at a meeting with them, so unfortunately not available for trips round the bay

You could get a couple of bikes on the ramp, but the rest is under cover for the troops.

When we left, one of the bigger ones was preparing to leave Plymouth and go round Lands End, as they practice beach landings on the North Cornish coast, on the soft sandy beaches. Better them than me going round Lands End in a flat bottom boat, bad enough in a normal one, although they only go when the weather is set good.

If you want a simial experience, go for a ride on the Wash Monster at Hunstanton in the summer

That landing craft looks fun Mav - you could always borrow it and invade, say, Grimsby for a laugh.

I've not shared many pics lately but here is one from the sunset last night on the seafront at Brighton. Lady Poppy and I went down to see the Monkey for the day and stopped overnight so we could have a nice dinner with her and her boyfriend Chris. Sitting at one of the beachfront bars enjoying a beer we watched the sun go down behind what's left of the ruined West Pier and were treated to a flying display by a massive flock of swirling starlings. Absolutely mesmeric.

I went there in December last year for a Gorillaz gig and saw the same thing. It was amazing.

Mine today is poor old Chris8886. Back in hospital after more heart problems. Either that or he's not got the hang of this chest waxing trend.

Couple of pictures from my walk with Mabel yesterday.

This at the end of October! To be fair, it's on a warm, south facing slope...


Blackberries and blossom

This is a bit further round and on the final section back to the village. This wonderful old oak is one of my favourite trees. I'd estimate it at being between 200 - 300 years old. It's much bigger than it appears in this picture.

Hope you didn't find & eat any ripe blackberries, Gary.
" Old Michaelmas Day is also called “Devil Spits Day”; it's the last day that blackberries should be picked, according to old British folklore "
That wouldn't make them very tasty!

There don't seem to be any ripe ones left now. Don't much fancy blackberries coated in Beelzebub's spit!
