That was my thought,    as much as I like that beach I was ready to get home.

I doubt you had time to see this on your way through Buxton?

That’s in ashwood park I believe but we didn’t stop there.

Blériot53 Posted at 8-26 03:55
I've now confirmed your guess where No2.  It is where I thought it was - near the end of Spring Gardens in Buxton.  Last time we passed, there were builders vans, skips and scaffolding surrounding it.  Today, that's all gone.

Something like this I guess - prepared as a clue

Yes. Jack the Quarryman.  On my circular route today.  Dodged the rain

Weve been playing dodge the rain too,   just heading out for flight number 3 and to collect two batteries if they are still there that I should have picked up this morning.   Part of my solar project hopefully.

Only 14 degrees here today

It was 11c when I was out this morning and Im thinking jumpers will soon be making a return.

We're currently at 12 degrees with a high of 16 forecast. But it's dull and damp.
I really can't drum up the enthusiasm to go out this morning.

Blériot53 Posted at 8-26 05:15
Good luck

We got back just in time,   although it was getting cold again so the shorts didnt stay on long.

No movement from Mrs.B. And the rain is getting heavier.
No hope of a flight today.

I got a couple of short ones in already but the place I think we will walk is in a NFZ,  if safe and flat which is better for her knee.     I think Ive heard movement now.

OK sounds like you'll have a better day than us.

Tide should be in,  theres a bit of sun so I'll take the IR camera just in case and if we can get a shift on theres should be some free parking left too.

Nearly at Southend pier where I expect to turn around.    Would have been a good day to fly the pier.

Quite a long pier - and a lovely sailing ship at the end.  Thanks

Longest pleasure pier in the world,    the Occidential pier forther along the coast is almost as long but no longer officially accessible,   Ive seen people up there but I have no clue how they are doing it.  I once saw two lads with their bikes on it and a drone.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Fortunately I have a few drones so I didnt need to risk trying to climb it,  but when they took away the old. stairs years ago a lot of people were unhappy as it was well used by the fisherman.

She’s on Facebook and they often share all catch photos.

Nice top down.

We have just decided to try and book Tiveden again.
So not next summer for me.

I thought you were planning something different next year.

We did look and discussed but settled on Tiveden again.
Too expensive and too tiresome for the better half.
I hope when she gets the outcome of our application for a disability benefit, she will get more rest and energy.

Everything seems to be getting expensive lately,   but we got lucky with an AirBnB for a week in a lovely cottage for £400.

The MIL just got C19,  we think from the hairdressers,   everyone was telling her it was a cold.   So when  we were there at the weekend she asked SWMBOd to show her how to do a C19 test,    it came out positive, and so did the next 2.   We left in a hurry but now we are waiting to see if we got it from her.    So all visits to see people this week have been cancelled,   much to my mums annoyance as I was supposed to be hanging new doors here this week.
