Indeed it is. Originally posted the wrong video more than 40 minutes of Jet Set Willy video and audio to suffer!, so I deleted it and put up just the intro tune :-D

Just noticed it went on to "Hall of the Mountain King" yes not a Wombles original composition but Edvard Grieg from Peer Gynt.

So a memorable appearance of Hall of the Mountain King and a Spitfire (Triumph) Engine, from the FCF archives

I really am losing the plot!! I read that last post mentioning a Spitfire engine and then looked at the leader for the video with the cam cover and thought to myself, "That is rather small for a Merlin engine?" #-o #-o ](*,) :sulk:

The September picture on our vistaprint calendar of our Labradorus photogenicus was one taken at Low Force on the River Tees taken round about this time last year.
NewcastleFalcon wrote: 08 Sep 2020, 20:13 Today was one of those "great days out" days and all the charging point plans fell into place nicely...no delays and a bonus at our destination.....the charging point at Bowlees Visitor Centre in Teesdale worked fine with my BP Chargemaster Polar Plus Card, and was both vacant, and free. Gave us options for the route back instead of having to go back up to Bishop Auckland Morrisons. As it turned out we took the path of least hassle and ended up just with one more top up at Chapel House on Tyneside on the Instavolt, and back home.

LOvely little visitor centre with friendly staff and the coffee and cake were excellent, consumed outside in a little gargen with coal great and blue tits/chaffinches/ robins etc feeding at the bird feeders.

Had never been to Low Force, High Forces litle brother but very picturesque and a lovely day for it.

While at the mancave yesterday I discovered that the mini had passed its MOT on Tuesday and is now going up for sale!!

Who would have thought that when I posted this picture in September last year:

followed by this one when we collected the mini in May this year:
08-05-21.jpg
that we would end up with this little beauty to put on the market?! :-D

Today kicked off with an unusual sight.

Two pomegranates lying by the side of the road.

My knowledge of pomegranates does't even extend to knowing how to spell the name without looking it up, no idea which part of the world is the pomegranate capital, or indeed what you would possibly use one for. Yes you can always eat them or suck the juice and spit out the seeds and pith.

Pomegranates are never on our shopping list and I cant remember the last time I had one.

Unfortunately when I returned with my camera someone had actually reclaimed the pomegranates so bang went pomegranate day on POTD :-D

So onto wild fruit POTD

Had a pleasant walk 'round the local nature reserve this evening. A few good spots on the way.

Nearly trod on an Adder...

I like that photo post scheme, possibly a sensible use of the technology mentioned!! :-D

I trod on an adder once, didn't go terribly well but wasn't fatal - as far as I recall.
