LEJOG

Some kind of rally passing through Northumberland today heading North. Did have a one word answer chat with one of the "contestants" whose Alfa had no doubt been through a puddle and cut out. About as talkative as stone. Good morning was obviously two words but they thought zero words was an appropriate response to that. I noticed the LEJOG sticker on the car asked them if they were heading to John O'Groats, to which they said "Aviemore".
er Conversation terminated.
Anyway this Citroen looked as if it had been about a bit judging by the stickers, and stopped a while on double yellows, presumably to decide whether to turn left or right, long enough to take a surreptitious photo. I didn't knock on the window and give them the benefit of my local knowledge to help them out.
Regards Neil

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
While I may have a chance, and a little help may be at hand towards the answer Mick, have you had a go at the impossible one...I keep giving it the odd go, and Dormouse has had a go. Have you given it a try....I'm talking about the car novel from the 1960's with nothing more than a vague recollection of the cover drawing and the subject matter!mickthemaverick wrote: ↑08 Dec 2021, 15:10 I passed by this church today!!

Yes I gave it a 20 minute bash yesterday but with no luck, watching Chelsea at the moment but I'll give it another bash later!!

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
That's probably because it is! Well done Neil, it's actually quite a big church in a fairly small village about 7 miles from home, on my route to Elstree!!NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑08 Dec 2021, 23:30

I would suggest that the unidentified planet was Jupiter as shown below:

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Thanks Mick, your image is spot on. The view was across the Tweed was looking South-ish. Over the river to the "christmas tractor" roundabout looking back, just as your image shows, the appearing larger and brighter planet of Venus was very prominent, previously blocked by the building in the "charging point" photo.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑09 Dec 2021, 06:25I would suggest that the unidentified planet was Jupiter as shown below:

This may be of interest, you can see the heavenly bodies without binoculars or telescopes, even through clouds.
