What are Citroen doing

er...this

Citroën is entering the era of electric vehicles and intends to leave its mark. Since 1919, Citroën has been making driving accessible to all, and more than 100 years later, it has entered the era of electric driving with a versatile range that is accessible to as many people as possible.

Your mobility needs are changing and responsible travel is becoming more and more important to you. Citroën is now creating plug-in hybrid vehicles and 100% electric models, all inspired by YOU and your everyday driving habits. Test your electro-compatibility!

Regards Neil

PS I like the way the grandiose claims of "Electric For All" , and "accessible to all" (since 1919) changed to the wishy washy "as many people as possible" in the course of the first paragraph.

These past two mornings I've been running just after sunrise due to the cold and ice risk...

Caught this shot of our River Lovat near the old Paggers swimming hole...

River Lovat

It's still swollen to about three times its summer size following recent heavy rain...

Bit of history of bathing in the Lovat Jim, not a weighty read few pictures two paragraphs!

So the list of different birds on the Trail cam is now 5. Blackbird and Robin, Collared Dove, Great Tit, and Chaffinch.

I'll give the collared dove the nod, in my youth completely absent from Durham & Northumberland, first saw one on holiday down South in Orpington Kent. Now a common bird up here. The most "exotic" birds we are likely to catch at some time on the trail cam on my little "bird feeding plank" are Siskins and Nuthatches if we are lucky. At the moment it is dominated by Blackbirds and Robins.

That's a great find Neil Harry Middleton is a very much-loved part of Paggers' history and indeed our swimming pool is named after him

This is an information plaque all about Harry and his gift to the town right by the steps down to the swimming hole..

And in detail...

The swimming hole is still very much in use in the summer by the local teenagers

Again I have been remiss in sailing past my 5500th post without a celebratory car. Having fielded a few complaints about always using cars from Western Capitalism for my celebrations I thought I'd better try and expand my searches to compensate. Now 5500cc is not exactly a common engine size anyway but my new found expansive searching has turned up trumps!!: (and would have got up Trump's nose no doubt )

BFTW

[CitroJim]

It looks like a car perfect for Trump actually Mick!

Two pictures from my very cold run in a cutting wind Temperature was -6C with wind-chill making it feel like -13C

Paggers Iron Bridge

It's a gorgeously sunny morning here 🌤 I caught the sun rising between two houses...

Carrington Road, Paggers

Not seen that bridge before Jim, quite unusual, have seen the big one at Ironbridge, that's a work of art too.
