Just another Sunday in Oxfordshire.

Just hoovered up under our bed. But first I'd to clear a few accumulated items from under there!

Flotsam

Quite like a go on a penny farthing, just slightly concerned about dying when attempting to stop!/dismount

Nice pic Matt, that will be a silver "James Bond Car" in amongst the "flotsum". Here's a link to my gold one on another of the FCF OTCL's quirky threads lying in the vaults....

...and on the subject of Penny Farthings I did lay down a challenge on this very thread here, done and dusted and declared myself the recipient of the 100 points on offer.

The wind has played havoc with the spring display today:

I'm likely to be easily way off the mark - but is the second pretty little bush with pinky-white flowers a magnolia?

If so I will take a picture of our magnolia tree - sadly the poor thing is having a great number of petals beaten and bashed off it by the very strong gusts last couple of days.

Just common-a-garden Aston Martin I'm afraid, no pop up bits worthy of 007.

It's having a hard life with William (5) at the wheel, has lost its quarter bumpers recently.
Faring better than a green Mercedes gull-wing though, that's recently lost a door completely so resembles one of those old vans that could be driven with the door open for quick deliveries (was it the Sherpa that was like that or something else?)

[mickthemaverick]

Yes it is magnolia, the same one I posted when it first came into bloom a few weeks ago. Falling apart now!!

'Back in the day' it was the Bedford CA/CF, Transit, and some Commers with the sliding doors. I can't remember if 'Wolfy Smith'* was seen in a sliding door van or not ?

*- Younger readers may wish to ask a grown up about that

From yesterday during a lovely long run after officiating at a tremendously good Junior parkrun

And from officiating at 'big' parkrun on Saturday... Gorgeously sunny and rather windy.... Too windy for those cones to stay put

Magnolia, with 206 for scale

I raked up the petals a day ago, but you wouldn't think so, would you!?

Partially de-bumpered Aston

I thought for a cheap toy, the stab at wire wheels was pretty effective

A quick look in my 'away for a rainy day' cupboard revealed this:

A presentation model

What a strange number "of only 5,900 produced"
You'd think it worth doing 900 less (or a hundred more) to give a nice round number?

[mickthemaverick]

They probably ran out of paint
