A photo of the day thread

The one must have when looking for a MH was the ability to fit our fat tyre e-bikes in the garage, in order to get fit following health issues. However the e-bikes have a fault in built. This afternoon on the way back to the MH after about 20Km around Empingham Reservoir it manifested itself again, but this time not a Wetherspoons, but a lovely pub:

Albanian donkeys are redundant now that their former owners are driving flashy cars bought from the proceeds of crime in the UK. LOL

Something different.
I mentioned birthday party in the park for 2 year old grandson.
Too hot. 5pm still 35c. This lot accustomed to it. We were leaking as now got used to UK weather.

I like the Ukrainian theme. Good to know that 2-year olds are up with world events.

Not understanding
No Ukrainians at the gig. I am obviously missing something.
Sons wife is Bulgarian (although more more Brit than me).
Brothers wife is Ukraine. He;s in UK getting over a, quote, "mild to moderate" heart attack".
Few Filipina there at the gig.

The table setting and party decorations are the same colour as the Ukrainian flag.

Ah, never clicked. Co-incidental i think.

Having coffee and this gorgeous lady sharing my space.

She is a French Sheepdog. I had never heard of them..... apparently they are a rare breed because in World War 1 bombs were attached to them, their fur combed over the bombs and they were sent to enemy line.... Then blown up. . Fortunately their numbers on the up.. so her owner told me.

She was BEAUTIFUL. (dog, not owner). Well, the owner was too probably, sorry.

she certainly is gorgeous, looks just like a beardie but with prick ears..
so like my first beardie, polly, (nigella) I had once upon a time back in the 70’s, apart from the ears of course,,

lovely to see you back here joy.

I thought that this was a bit of an urban myth until we drove into Albania. Loads of huge Chelsea tractors. Many with U.K. plates but with obviously Albanian drivers. Quite amazing what has happened. Made a note of one U.K. number plate to do a vehicle check, it was a Skoda driving round in uttoxeter not a merc in Albania

Screenshot from a video my Son sent me today, dismantling a tree that had been struck by lightening, the crack runs right to the base and is charred inside.

THat has to be one of my favourite sites. Lovely walk into town, nice restaurant and brewery within 100 yards. Great.

Another victim of storm Ashley was this ash tree on today's dog walk. I posted a picture of it a couple of years back as there was a "wild bees" nest in it, but hadn't realised the potential "storage space" that was available to them ! Fortunately/unfortunately, their home is higher up, so Pooh went home empty handed !

Feeling a bit small today in Courseulles sur Mer

York railway Museum yesterday. Free entry and donate. It’s a great museum but allow yourself plenty of time there.

Just managed to capture the sun setting behind the touring field at Haven Thornwick Bay. Looks like bonfire night came early.

A beautiful photograph. One to be proud of. It's good to see young boys turning into great equestrians. So often they drop out of the sport because girls catch their eye.
