Very nice Trikey but will be better when we can get moving again. Must say nevertheless heard so much birdsong, so that's good.

Good Andy, most of it off road, was only the last 3/4 mile was on the main road. We went up to the track behind the ind est up the road, through the tunnel under the A69, up to North Walbottle, short stretch on that road then left on to public footpath to Callerton, turning right on to another path doing a loop round a field ending up back on the original path. Straight across the road along another track running alongside Chapel House estate, this took us back to Blucher, where the coach firm I work for is based, next to Walbottle. Then turned right onto another track running parallel to A69 taking us out at Abbey Farm estate on Nth W/bottle road, then back on to Hexham road and home😉

Well when you have dogs going for walks is easier. We would love another dog but both work fulll time, or did until lockdown, daughter at home but hopefully will get a job, son will be at college come September, so dog would be left alone all day. Not going to happen, I refuse to get a dog to leave it alone all day, not fair. It wouldn't be practical taking it to work with me either, sitting alone in ths van is no better than being left in the house.

Wise words Rich, dogs don't deserve to be left at home, I'm lucky that Deb only works 20hrs per week and a lot of them don't clash with my hours so the dogs are not alone for long.

Walking them today was a pleasure, they don't know (Or care) Whats happening in the world, they are just happy with a bit of company and a walk... Maybe we can learn something from our canine friends.

Good morning Col

What about painting the engine and brake discs. I have seen the discs painted in green or red?

This morning I sent the anonymous mechanic a reminder list for work to be completed on the V6, currently in storage at a secure location The list should keep him busy, busy
