Some more stuff for the archives....

Here are a few photos of memorabilia from the house.  Just stuff I brought home yesterday.  I took all the photos out the other week and they are now in boxes in Judy's back bedroom where they can stay for a while.  There is nothing now left in the house apart from some specific stuff that has no sentimental value and which can stay there for the new owner....stuff like a couple of pictures on the walls, a couple of two seater settees and other bits of reasonably conditioned furniture.  Oh, and if you are planning on dropping in before the sale is completed there is still a microwave oven, a plate, knife, fork, mug and bowl, a tin of mixed peas & carrots, a Shepherd's Pie in the freezer and a miniature frozen Christmas pudding for afters.  No cream though I'm afraid.  In fact, no sauces or condiments as I have cleaned out the kitchen now.  I have not really tackled the garden shed other than to remove the Black & Decker garden machinery which I will test at 37.  I don't reckon any of it will work but you never know...and I left the lawn mower in the shed with most of the other tools, the braai kit and charcoal, etc....the garden furniture is also still in the garden.  However, I personally have nothing to go back there for.  I have left the front garage door unlocked so the charity men can take what they wish.  Anything else we can get Neil Mason to remove using his transit....the man with a van.

So here are a few bits and pieces.

Here are a few photos from the last year, also one or two that snuck in from other years, my computer has a mind of it's own.

This time I've done it on my own but I was supervised!

Finally with Kate's help I think I'm here!

Goodwood Track Day

The smell of Dope

A trip to Goodwood provoked an early memory.. the cause of which was an ERA racing car which

 running on Methanol with it's distinctive exhaust scent. Turns out Methanol or as Dad called it 'dope' is now cheaper than pump petrol at £1 a litre!

The memory was a Saturday or Sunday afternoon with just Dad at Brill Motorbike Scamble Meeting.
It used to be on the telly with Murray Walker.
