…the added bonus is there are no mosquitoes in the greater Seattle area unless I go out on a trek’s into the forest. Summers in New England could get unbearable at times even in the city… Seattle does have plenty of spiders however. …maybe they eat all of the mosquitoes.
…and keeping with the Vintage theme here are some vintage boats located by the MOHAI museum and Center for Wooden Boats on Lake Union in Seattle.

Difficult to grasp the scale in this clip
Thank you for the clip Matthew. I was telling my wife that it had 6 prop engines, I’ll have to revise that for her.
First up, let me apologise for the shonky photos, all I had in 1985. I was in ecstasy.
These were taken at the Dover Airbase in Delaware. They were part way through repairing Fortress Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby, and there was long way to go.
I tried to take a pic from as near as I could to the ball turret gunner’s POV.
I was clearing down the phone and came across this.
I forget when this was but these beauties were lined up outside our local HiFi and AV dealer. Sadly the cones ruin the shot!
Me at the Goodwood Revival, 2013
Your car? And is it a Bentley?
1934 Rolls, and no, it’s not mine.
Having driven down through France yesterday I drove over the Forclaz and Grand St Bernard passes today. Yes, the latter for its Italian Job connection, but having done so, without having planned it I’ve ended up staying at what was Paolo Stanzani’s house and the place is wall to wall with Lamborghini and motor racing memorabilia such as this picture with Gandini and Dallara.
With apologies for the quality!
I do know someone who ‘so employers have a Lamborghini, and he got to drive it the other day.
It’s a red tractor.
Is that near Reading ?
Checkendon. Pretty village, down to one pub AFAIK, good for walks, nice coffee shop/farm shop on the outskirts.
For those interested in vintage buses and coaches, note that on Sunday 25th September (3 days’ time) there is the 50th SHOWBUS Rally, the biggest in the world, at the Hertfordshire Showground (near Junction 9 of the M1). Apparently this will be the last ever Showbus which has previously been an annual event, Covid excepted of course.
It was Kop Hill Climb this weekend - this is a 1920’s hill climb that was revived about 20 years ago.
Here are some iphone snaps as they return past my house.
