I used to go to air shows as a kid with my ex-RAF engineer uncle, a lovely, very funny man who died a few years ago.

My mum and my auntie were looking through his photos out of the loft the other night and my mum sent me this. I’m guessing Farnborough or Finningly. I’ve absolutely no idea of the year. Late 70’s, early 80’s maybe? God only knows where he took the shot from.

@binners I don’t think that photo’s that old. It’s 558, so the last airworthy Vulcan, then look at the generator pack in the bottom left and the Luton transit bottom right. Both are really modern. It’s possibly within the last ten to fifteen years.  Farnborough  2012 perhaps?

5 miles of family trail with my youngest today. He's getting less wobbly each time we go out. Need to find some brakes that actually fit his hands though, Giant didn't get the sizing right as they're huge!

With my back to the traffic, I stoped here to cross the road, when the car hit the lamppost.

all parties are perfectly fine.

That Suzuki 👆🏻is, in my opinion, a write-off! The frame is obviously bent inwards, as is the roof. The car must have rotated right around the light pole! I can’t make out the company name though. Glad it’s not me having to phone the boss… 🤣

A very tiny bee, on my Pyrocanthus flowers, as I was trimming the hedge earlier. The only photo I got, but it does show the large amounts of pollen on its back legs.

@countzero

Im inclined to agree with you about the car being a write-off.

It seems like the boss was in the passenger seat. He seemed to know whereabouts in the boot to find the insurance documents.

The car bounced quite impressively off the lamppost.

Had that been a similarly sized tree…

Im still having to pinch myself at the sheer flukiness of it all😛😛😛

There’s half a dozen of those coconut shells, a feeder with six fatballs in, four wire mesh feeders full of suet pellets, and a feeder full of calci worms, all fresh in the evening. Pretty much everything gone by teatime the next day! 😳🤷🏼

No baby robin, but a baby goldfinch and a baby blackbird.

My first crop of raspberries, the blackbirds have already spotted them, so this is for my tea tonight! 😁

Spotted one of the hedgehogs wandering around at lunchtime, which is worrying, so I scooped it up and put it in a box with some food and water, and phoned the hedgehog preservation society, who said it’s probably a female out foraging for food because she’s got hoglets! She’d scoffed a fair bit of the food so I put her back out and she’d scurried off a minute or two later. 🦔😁

Up at the wind farm yesterday. Full of wildlife. The Kestrel has sussed the turbines from what I can see, swoops through the blades.
