I had to meet someone the otherday. And they said "what car will you driving?"
I replied.. " the one without the flag".

They found me ok heheh..

Jeezus they're everywhere! There wasn't this many flags flying on the 23rd of April..

Is it me, or has World Cup fever really gripped the nation this year? I don't remember this excitement and hyper back in 2002 or France 98.

Similarly, I did the run in and out of Wales from Ross-on-Wye down to Chepstow, then over the bridge earlier today.

Found things very similar.

By the way, The Harp WAS on the list for tomorrow, with one or two other locations, but the schedule's had to be changed. It'll now be either July 10th or 12th, if you're in the area.

Ooh, things move quickly in Proutbrokeshire, so I may or may not be around. However, I will be passing through Devizes on June 20th as I'm going to the summer solstace festival at Stonehenge in the early hours of June 21st.

Aha!

Keep me posted about June 20th, then.

Chunks of it are booked up already, but there's nothing in the diary for the evening, as things stand.

Might let you buy the old fellow a glass of wine.

Tend to prefer anything from the Rhone Valley, actually. So long as the shoulders on the bottle aren't too sharp, I'll probably like it.

Oh no, this is beginning to sound like a party. So long as you keep that bloomin' camera OFF your shoulder, Mr Grandnood.

Yes, just brought the brown chap back from a long yomp across the hill.

No motorbikes, four-by-fours or any other unpleasant items up there today.

Made a nice change for a Saturday.
