Welcome to my new Blog



Welcome to my Blog.
My Blog is mostly about my hobbies, ie Model boats, Cross Stitch, Gardening, Days out and about, Lego Technics and Photography you might recognize the hat rather than me. My models and other hobbies can be found in the Tabs at the top below the header picture.
There will also be entries of days out with my camera, weather permitting of course.

Saturday, 4 February 2017

Just like spring.Feb 2017.

Just like spring, but I'm not fooled!, I always think February and March are the worse months!.
Still it was a beautiful day out today, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the company at the lake was good.
Plenty of people out feeding the ducks & geese and as you can see loads of gulls

  

This is a snassy outfit isnt it, think it was just to keep its pom poms clean with all the mud about from the rain last night

A nice pair of tufted ducks enjoying the sun shine, the one with the white on its side is the male.

What also made it a nice day out in the sun, was the fact I've changed my car, Oh No not again I hear you saying, but the gold one was too big for my needs really, not the driving it, but the size for my needs, didn't need a 7 seater but it was an impulse buy and taken a bit more into consideration this time!.

Its a Vauxhall Meriva SE Turbo, no that's not a doggy number plate, can do without someone at the other end of the country cloning mine and me getting someone else's fines!.  
 
Reading the reviews on the internet about the Electronic handbrake on these type of vehicles I was a bit concerned and asked the garage owner about it, and also the turbo!.
"Get in" he said and took me round the block, frightened the life out of me, but you always feel like that when your a driver and someone else is driving don't you?.
Bottom line is went out this morning and after his instructions had no trouble at all. 
Another plus is, Pepe seems to like it as well.

Lovely car and lovely day out.
Must have a trip out to the Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre next week for a nice long run , plus one of their Mares are due to give birth on the 11th of this month!.


I don't think you will be disappointed.

What has four legs and flies
A dead horse!

I bet on a great horse yesterday,
it took six horses to beat him!.

Custer's last words at the Little Big Horn;
"I'll never understand these Indians, a few minutes ago they were singing and dancing"!
