Same here, just as bad as yesterday, had to take the big sun brolly in yesterday. Even though it was folded etc with a very heavy base it blew over, never happened before. Had a couple of heavy showers as well, which coincided with going out to water the garden! Trouble is the wind dried everything up again quick time so had to get the hose going anyway.

That's just what I found out today, we had plenty of rain yesterday & a few showers today but that wind has dried out all the planters to the point some of the flowers were drying out

I've given everything a good watering this afternoon.

Simon is fed & watered & now catnap time in the conservatory whose poly carbonate roof sounds like it's going to blow off.

We’ve had a lot of sun, but also a lot of showers and quite heavily rain there’s been today.
I had Andy visit today with his wife, and Quizzie the dog, he’s hopefully coming back to visit his sons then come and meet me and we’ll take Quizzie for a walk too. Providing it’s not chucking it down with rain again.

Hi gang,

Just catching up on posts from the last couple of days.
I was at Brands Hatch all day yesterday with my Dad.

Today I have been editing pictures and watching the Grand Prix so only just got on here.

Woking in Saxmundham tomorrow... A series 2 Land Rover to photograph for Car&Classic.

These are a few of the photos from yesterday's Super Touring Car meeting at Brands Hatch...

Morning. I'm shattered, had a hellish night. Couldn't get to sleep then when I did it was in one hour max instalments.

Some nice old racing cars on your pictures Jeff, the Jaguars, Triumph Dolomite and Mk1 Ford Capri, and Ford Anglia. A lot of years ago when I was 16, I had a mk1 Ford Prefect.

Morning all, Grey skies & still with the rain but at least that strong wind has abated

Stunning pics of the touring cars Jeff.

I had one this shape. https://www.cranerclassics.co.uk/pro...-ford-prefect/, it was the same colour as damson red and the bottom colour was light grey. I never got it on the road though, it got scrapped ad I was too I’ll to repair it , then bought a Morris Traveller changed from the Minor traveller to a Morris Minir pick up.
Mine was this colour , but being converted from the Minor traveller, https://classiccars.brightwells.com/...ls.php?id=5806 it didn’t have a rear window on the driving area.

Nice car Richard..

I'm off to shoot a 1960's series Landrover this afternoon.
I get to photograph and play with loads of exotic and classic cars.....Without the worry of ownership
