Mick, if you were banking on provoking a giggle then here at least, you succeeded!

As we're on the subject of trees, this from yesterday during my run around Bury Field doing the parkrun course check...

I'm curious as to what species of bird the triangular nest box is intended for? A big one I guess. Owls maybe?

A moody one of Tyringham church captured on my bike cam this morning... The camera was a bit confused by the full and very bright sun and made an interesting picture as a result I think :D

Shows what a gorgeous day it is down this way :) And warm too... I was wearing just a trisuit and mitts... Along with helmet, shoes and socks ;)

There's a deliberate error in this picture ;) Those who know me will have no problem in spotting it :lol:

It well might Mick ;)

I'm vaguely aware of other acronyms of VEGAN but that's the best/most usable in polite society - which of course we all are on the FCF :) Others, I believe, might be a bit rude and cheeky... I must see if I can dig some out...

I was thinking you might have had a bit of Photoshop fun knowing what I tend to eat when dining out ;)

I even had a set of comebacks ready to launch :lol:

That's a cracker Mick 🤣🤣🤣 I've not stopped giggling yet!

It deserves a drum(stick)roll 😉😊🤣

🤣 Whyever not? It's huge fun!

A lot of vegans, including a couple of my good friends, would have me blackballed for even daring to wear that top knowing I'm only about 98% vegan and known to indulge in the occasional bit of cured pig and sea fruit as a special treat 😉😊 They can be a very militant lot at times...

Today I find myself all over Facebook and Instagram playing the part of a poster-boy for a big local running event :)

There's quite a Citroen connection to the Instagram photo above... Last year's Twin Lakes 20 took place on the same day as the CCC Chevrons Rally...

As soon as I'd completed the run I jumped in Daffodil and went over to little Horwood to attend the rally still in my running kit...

There we enjoyed a meeting/reunion of the current and two former Citroenian Xantia Files column editors and this photo was snapped of we three...

Digging through some old prints looking for something that I will probably never find, came across a few interesting and forgotten ones.
This is, or was at Marsden, near South Shields. It collapsed about a decade ago.

We used to spend lots of time there but not for years now that the kids are all grown.
