No need for elbows.

Gaps through the fencing are at a premium.

Sausage (3), Mash, mixed veggos and gravy for David.

Baked potato with tuna and salad for Vicky.

Oh, and 2 cups of tea, obviously.

1:00-ish.

There's young and then there's really young.

Robert Shwartzman (RUS) gets ready for the start of the Renault 2.0 NEC race.

Vicky's head has been turned by a Lambo in black!

Just 'cos you own a 'supercar' doesn't mean you can park it anywhere yer like.

1:30-ish.

Ready for the Renault 2.0 NEC race which was won by……………

…………...Max Defourney (BEL).

Time for a wander 'round the paddock now.

2:00-ish.

Close-up shot of Bentley GT3. 

Very nice (the car, not the shot).

Cowin' heck. Dani's here!

He's much taller than you'd imagine.

 Scott's here too (in old colours)!

Not to mention Kimi!

Kimi?

We said not to mention Kimi (with a big thanks to Spike Milligan).

Note how Kimi is bonding with an animal from his neck of the woods.

Bentley drivers head for the GT3 Driver's Briefing.

It'll be summat to do with 'Track Limits' we wager.

GT3's at Luffield.

Time to head back to the car park now.

We forgot to set our Fit Bits when we arrived but they tell us that we've walked
over 6 miles all-told today. 

We'd say that 5 of them were walked here.

It's been something of a fleeting visit (for us) 'cos Emlyn hasn't been well lately and we don't want to leave him alone for too long.

We have a good run home (back at 6:15) and Emlyn is very pleased to see us.

So much so that he has a huge 'proverbial' after his evening dinner of Ocean Fish.

It's a seven-incher! A new Emlyn record. He's been holding that one in for 2 days!

Just thought we'd mention it.

It's too hot, Worcester, Sunday, 8th May, 2016.

Just gone 2:00pm:

It's 24 degrees and so certain people of a certain age think it's cool 

to wear shorts of a certain length in public. 

They're everywhere!

In the shade we're in the mood for a selfie.

In the sun we're just grumpy.

Roll on October.

The appropriately named Elgar Street where the great man composed his epics between cycle rides to The Molineux (and back) to support The Mighty Wolves.

If we remember we'll take a photo of where he went to school. 

It shouldn't be too hard, we walk past it most days.

Just gone 5:00pm.

After a slow trudge into town and back (just under 6 miles in total) we arrive back home to find someone is not on his blanket. He's on the sheet!

At least he looks suitable guilty.

Latest sounds recently arrived:

The Machine Stops - Hawkwind
Divides - The VirginMarys
Introvertigo - Dan Patlansky
The Circle And The Blue Door - Purson
Desire's Magic Theatre - Purson

Are these some that David bought for Vicky or are they simply on display in M&S.

You decide.

A selfie of the happy couple under a blossom tree in the park on the way home.

Blossom, unfortunately, just out of shot thanks to the angle-of-the-dangle being all-wrong.

4:00pm-ish.

Oh, you've come home have you?

Back at HQ, somebody couldn't give a flying-frick about whose anniversary it is.

We walked nearly 8 miles yesterday and nearly 6 miles today. 

Vicky says she is looking forward to going back to work tomorrow for a rest.

Much later:
And so to bed.

In remembrance of Auntie Bette, Worcester Cathedral, Bank Holiday Monday, 2nd May, 2016.

Gnarly olde trees and blossom outside The Cathedral.

The view from King John's head.

Lighting a candle in memory of Vicky's Auntie Bette who passed away peacefully yesterday aged 84.

A wonderful Aunt and a lovely lady.

Splendid pendantry (if there is such a word). 

Olde flags, basically.

Bluebells outside The Cathedral.

Wild flowers (aka weeds), olde city wall remains, and The Hive.

Almost home and it's p*ss*ng down now.

But we laugh in the face of rain. Oh yes.

Bluebells, Gheluvelt Park, Sunday, 1st May, 2016.

Just the job for brightening up a walk home in light drizzle under a leaden sky.

Is there such a thing as a Hail Drift? Worcester, Friday, 29th April, 2016.

Oooooh, simply fascinating.

Vicky with an even bigger (well, longer) one.

Today's soundtrack before the walk:

Bruce Soord - Bruce Soord

The Killer Instinct - Black Star Riders

Antiphon - Midlake

Vinyl soundtrack for late afternoon ironing session whilst Vicky is working from home:

Ronco Presents 44 Original Hits From The Soundtrack Of The Film Stardust As Seen On TV - Various Artists (1974). 

Just the first two sides.

Auntie Louise at 92, Erdington, Saturday, 23rd April, 2016.

Auntie Louise keeps her mind active by knitting toys for local charities.

She's also knitted several bags.

Auntie Louise talking about being photographed by The British Legion on her new mobility scooter which they had provided for her in appreciation of her 4 years war service in North Africa and Italy.
