Amazing changes in weather today on my return trip to Leicestershire:

Beds on the route north

Sunny Leicestershire

Sunny Northants

Beds on the way home

Sodium light in Hertfordshire

It was nice to have a drive even though the new screen ECU failed after 70 miles grrrrr but I delivered the medicine and that was what really mattered!!

A few leaves - own work

I did hope for a bit of sunshine and a decent wind today to recreate this but the sun never broke the clouds in anything other than brief patches and there was not much wind.

patchy blue sky

Still there was the consolation of a disused signal box with a nice patina

I don't know that you would although with you present level of fitness you would probably make it. Arthritis would probably prevent me doing more than 10 yards. It's quite a bit of work getting the car up there with the tight bends.

Unfortunately that clue is in most of my pictures - or I forget where they are, well done on the detective work though. It's beautiful ride up that road, from Lairg you have the river and pine forests, beyond the pub hills and rivers to Altnaharah village then roadside lochs and when you get near to Tongue mountains and beautiful views across the kyle.

On my extended wander home after dropping my car at my son's house.
Local school, in the teacher's car park.

Typical rubbish phone photo.

There is no such thing as a perfect image, and for me to acknowledge that fact a small token of deliberate or accidental imperfection should be present in all images.

This for me this morning made your image interesting

imperfection or added interest
the latter for me

Quite an event over the skies of Northumberland this clear and frosty morning.

This is an image of part of the story

Number 2 of a 3 part story

Spoiler: show

A flurry of planes from Houston, Washington, New York passing by on their way to Istanbul

Bloody phones.

I have a cast-off Samsung thingy here beside me. Have to enter a PIN. Can I work out the PIN? What do you think.
It keeps chirping and warbling away, anyone's guess what it is up to. All I want is to load it with mp3s and plug it in to an amp.

One of my point and shoots this...

...cold and frosty morning

Any help?

Unfortunately not. I can possibly do a complete factory reset but that is likely to end in disaster.

I have twice done it on the craphone and each time lost more functionality.

May have to part with some pictures of the queen

Had a letter from the NHS about going paperless - ironically as they have my email address.
There was a Qcode that I had to show to the camera on my phone to know all about everything.
Naturally it didn't work.

Where's that signal box Neil and what lime was it on?

A very wintery looking Salcey Forest today

Salcey Forest

[myglaren]

I looked out a 05:00 this morning, very misty and icy, cars covered in frost.

Ignored it and went back to bed

Ignored it and went back to bed

Many would rate that as very good advice indeed Steve!

It's still good to get out and about even on days like today. The air is very invigorating

I was not alone in thinking that as Salcey Forest was once again utterly rammed. Both main and overflow car parks were full when I left and between them they hold around 300 cars!

One effect of Covid seems to be that people have become more active and get outdoors more.
