Be Afraid

Be especially cautious if this young lady answers the door tonight LOL.

Steam

Just look what my son spotted today on his way home from Uni.

Third

Today Rishi Sunak, MP will assume the office of British Prime Minister. No big deal perhaps unless it is remembered he will be our third to do so since September. Not only that, he is the youngest PM since the 1800's and our first Hindu.

Oh and he is famous for being a massive Star Wars fan.

Fond Farewell

Today I took my son to Prospect Park for a farewell visit to Carter's Steam Fair. Their touring days come to an end this Autumn.

Owner Joby Carter is currently seeking a buyer, who will offer the fair a permanent home. Berkshire based Carter's has been, with the exception of the Covid period, a constant touring attraction in the south of England for many years. Unfortunately the costs of  upkeep of the historic stock has meant continuing as a touring fair is now untenable. 

Thank you to a lovely local attraction; you'll be greatly missed.

Our BBC

This month the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC, or, The Beeb or indeed Auntie is celebrating 100 years. To mark this occasion the Royal Mint have issued a limited edition 50p coin, featuring a broadcast antenna, transmitting to the World. Although only released now, these  coins were struck a good few weeks ago, naturally then, they feature Her Majesty. These are still legal tender, in case there was any doubt. It may be a good few years before coins depicting the Queen are taken out of official circulation.

Anyway, here is my own limited edition Silver Proof version, with a maximum mintage of 3510. Enjoy the shiny LOL!

Boddi

Bit of a blast from the past, of my misspent younger years at least LOL. Cheers!

Moments

Last night's gig with Moments of Pleasure: the Music of Kate Bush. Awesome as always.
