Today in Pictures, more a close up look at wickthings towards the end.

1. My monthly edition of Dewdrop arrived today, bringing to mind droplets.
2. I got sidetracked to come this way, a bridge to far.
3. Not so much a wet gusset, but my socks are moist.
4. Bracken fern has taken over this part of the wood.
5. The Orchids are still flowering here.
6. Goats Beard.
7. A glance down the site makes me think I may have a moist gusset before I get back to the car.
8. Don't know this, but there is a drift growing on a pile of rubble.
9. Form a queue there's enough for everyone.
10. The caterpillar of the Cinnabar Moth, feeding on ragwort, a plant thats poisonous to animals. Wear gloves if you pull this up, it can cause liver failure.

when you go to Fleetwood with your older brother and your little nephew (even tho he's 21 and just finished uni .. he still gets called little!!

) you don't get much chance to go in places .. especially when someone has walked past a motorbike .. fallen for it .. asked a load of questions of the owner ie half an hour later ..finding out a new one is £24,500 .. oh and carries on walking then finds another group of these motorbikes .. and then starts asking questions of the owners again .. one of which had only bought this 2 years ago .. and spent £5000 on additions .. one of which is a dvd player .. (on a motorbike!!

) anyway heres some more from sunday ...

1 couldn't decide what it was .. and no one was around to ask ..
2. saw it in action on its way home .. lol
3. one way if you had a hangover not to listen to them .. they were very loud but very good .. drumming ...
4 we will exterminate you ...
5 taaaaaxxxxxxxxxxiiiiiiiiiii

you would have been in your element .. there was two mini clubs there .. and others scattered around ... the old ones and the new ones ... then there were the ones who had their matching trailers ...

gpick24 · 23-07-2013, 23:18

I`ve had both a new one and an old one. I know which I prefer. The old one was like driving a go cart around, wasn`t the fastest but great fun. The new style one was a lot faster, but they are minis in name only. When I`m done with the jobs on the house, I want an old one to do up.

I use to have an old minivan, with a factory fitted rear seat. Great little van

We had a red mini clubman back in the 70's with a matching red and black trailer -we went all over France in it on camping holidays. My sister and I were squashed in the back sitting on 4 pillows and it also had a roof-rack on with our cases!!!

Stuck in traffic on our way down to Dover, a London cabbie leaned out and shouted to my dad, "Oy, Mate! You forgot the bleedin' kitchen sink!"
