Little bit down from where we are is Saint Croix du Verdon, a great place to have an Aperol and board of meat and cheese. 32 degrees here.

Nunnykirk C&MC club site Northumberland. One of the few left with no hardstanding or toilet block. Love it. But the flowers are all common Btitish wild flowers including: buttercup, dandelion, daisy, hawthorns, bluebell, speedwell and wild garlic that we call onion stinkers.

While driving up through France, we saw a small low blue car pull out of a junction a few hundred yards ahead of us.
We came up behind it at a set of traffic lights and found it to be an original Renault Alpine A110

Here's what they look like from the side.

My two Swiss brother mates from Basel, had one each, one exactly as above in Blue, the other was Yellow, so I nicknamed it "The Shit Hot Banana" which caught on in The Renault Alpine Owners Club, I am told. Sadly Cheggy the eldest brother had to sell his as part of matrimonial settlement, sadly he has never been the same since the breakdown.
Great fun to drive but you need to keep the revs up, especially on steep mountain tight bends before giving it the gutty out the other side, or the twin Webber's instantly flood.
Worth a few bob these days, hard to find an original one.

Had a lovely ride along the coast on our bicycles to Blanes

Our budding future Modern Pentathlete 10 y/o grandson has gone and got himself a new (bigger) dobbin to ride and jump. Doing quite well in the short time they’ve been acquainted by all accounts!

Eldest daughter came upon this nest of horrors while out walking the dog - looks like something from a Stephen King novel, although I believe they are a variety of ‘tent’ caterpillars.

conference chairs that look comfortable , like the look of them, usually conference chairs are uncomfortable as possible to keep the attendees awake

Thing is our client, The Governmnet, have paid for those chairs (through us) and don't want them after the conference and asked if we can dispose of them.............it's quite normal. We have 4 big godowns (wharehouses) full of stuff clients don't want/have no use for.

Sell packs of them to Morelo as part of the 'Outdoor seating kit'. They look like they'd match the decor.

Looked like the clouds where on fire as the sunset last night, carnforth, Lancashire.

interesting title 'waste to energy' - wonder how much energy was wasted for all that stuff to end up in a warehouse - I friend now retired did similar , not as glamorous as Dubai - more like the NEC they too disposed of the set once the conferences/exhibitions were over - at one stage I think he had carpeted all of his families homes in 50 shades of Grey

and they are promoting 'Waste to Energy'

Reminds me, back in the 80's when I worked for a New Malden company called FilmCraft.
They supplied props for the film and TV companies, (I once spent all day, & 100mls, delivering two separate Hula-Hoops to the BBC for the Little & Large Show) not much appears to have changed regarding spend money?

Edit: Just seen Nanniemate post, it seems our first thoughts were similar!

 

[namwaldog]

A few nights away last weekend.....

Headed east from Penrith on the A686 over the Pennines. Coffee stop on Hartside summit looking back west over the Eden valley and the northern fells of the Lake District.

Over Alston Moor...

To Alston, the highest Market Town in England...

With quite a steep Main Street...

Down the start of Weardale, through Nenthead....

To Wolsingham where we stayed at the site attached to Robson's of Wolsingham, a caravan & motorhome dealership with an accessory shop.

The site has the River Wear running behind it....

Went for a walk along the riverbank to the now (mostly) demolished steelworks site...

With some old rolling stock stores there...

Moved on the next day and headed south along the Pennines, stopping for coffee just above Middleton in Teesdale...

Spent a little time in Middleton and then back onto the moors towards Brough but stopped before there at a nice spot for lunch to look back towards the reservoirs at Grassholme and Selset...

Carried on south and overnights at Spital Caravans, Kendal which we've shown before so no images.
Following day we decided to have a look at the Furness Peninsula.
Coffee spot overlooking the Duddon Estuary...

Then round the coast to our overnight at the C&MC site at Dockray Meadows, nr Loweswater.

No showers and toilets onsite and priced accordingly at £18.

Back to the coast at Maryport harbour for coffee...

Then further up the coast to Allonby for lunch...

Some"naturally sandblasted" boundary posts...

 

[daveclare]

Took a ride along the Verdon Gorge road. Just past a place called Pointe Sublime, was a road down to the gorge floor. Where the was a path to tunnels cut through the rock, giving great views below.

Took some photos at waters edge. Only coming back up did we see a sign saying beware near waters edge as power station further up could release massive

amounts of water at any time thus increasing water level instantly oops!
