Induction must be the safest way of cooking. Small single induction cookers are very cheap now.

The problem is the Electric posts are not being used as originally envisaged. The were to provide charging for pure electric boats and plug in hybrids. Now their primary use is boiling kettles and firing the magnetron to heat ready meals, not to mention electric hobs.

Unless it is Fiamm's battery factory! Great air horns had a set on my Spitfire.

Maybe the video predates December 22nd 1965. If so and his Mk2 was fitted with the smallest engine derivative a 2.4 litre it would have been capable of 100mph or 125mph with the largest 3.8 litre. Given that these speeds coming at you from behind were not somthing drivers had seen in the passed, I think letting a slow moving vehicle in the overtaking lane know you are coming is OK.

That rather depends on how seaworthy you want your craft and how far you wish to go.

I am pretty sure that the photograph copyright is annoted C Slawson.

I am sure that I used it just a few days ago, but it is not working for me now.

I also went power when we left the sea. I had a good friend, now sadly passed. His family moved to the Chilterns to find work in the 1930s from Sunderland and he was born a Bucks Man. Money was tight as the only work was agricultural but they got a cottage and food was plentiful being grown and shot.(plenty of rabbit then) In the 1950s he was called up for National Service and managed because of family history to join the Royal Navy. He did infact stay in and did a total of something like 26 years. The thing is, there was no such thing as a family holiday. When he got on the train at High Wycombe to report for basic training he was 18, I think, and had never seen the sea!!

The whole National Park "Thing" is up for and under review. But with the political turmoil? Who knows? I have been told this review was very much a Gove inititive.

Without a bone fida name and e-mail an online survey could not be considered valid. I shall certainly complete the survey.

Mazel tov Robin. It will give you freedom and change your life for the better! No more being tied to the Greater Anglia Timetable.

Yes, I am very lucky with my position. Had the house nearly 12 years now and quite a few other buyers were in the running so I offered the asking price. Also I had exchanged contracts so it was ours.

Being retired I am looking out the conservatory window as I have a bit of a tidy up! Was a mizzley horrid morning earlier in North Norfolk but lovely now, think I will have a walk over the fields.

If you have not read his autobiography it is worth picking up a used copy off Amazon or the like. It is a really good read.

Totally agree about those at the top of the hill at Belaugh. The trouble with riverside properties is many weeks of zero privacy. We had friends who had the most beautiful home with boathouse just downstream of Marlow they moved after two years.

I don't know for certain why the bees are there, but Melborne is quite famous for it's rooftop honey. I very much doubt they would go anything like that height though. A decent wind and it would be next stop Tasmania.

Had a good walk at Felbrigg this morning. The woods were stunning reminded me of the Beech Woods of The Chilterns. Still I will be down there soon for a driven day.

I took these from the 322 metre skydeck at the 88th floor of The Eureka Tower, Melbourne, it is the highest in the Southern Hemisphere. If you look carefully at the second photo you can see a "Rowing Eight" on The Yarra River.

Think it will be bad overnight, but day looks set fair. Have a great day.

A memorable day for me yesterday as well. For a number of reasons I decided to cancel my order for the camo version of the new Winchester SX4 that I placed at the Game Fair and run with a standard composite. It was delivered to my chosen RFD yesterday. Can't wait for the 17th. Doing the Canadas before changing guns for the normal driven day. It has a 3.5 inch chamber so a lot of bang for your buck.

I watched the Nat West Tower go up as I was based in Bethnal Green Road. Then some years later I watched the Central Tower at Canary Wharf go up as I was then with "The Red Propeller" in Silvertown.

A regular for Judith and I was : set off from Broadsedge at Stalham and cruise to Boundary Farm moorings at Thurne Mouth. We would then do one of two circular walks and return to the boat to cook dinner. Dinner complete we would return to Broadsedge often on Nav Lights in Autumn. Once the boat was sorted, jump in the car, back home in 20mins. Confession......Also In the car would be all our dinner plates, pans etc to go in the dishwasher at home!

A trouble shared etc, etc, etc. Here is mine in February this year off to David Mawby. I admit to the odd tear as I walked back from Richardsons to pick up my car. It was never going to work for me without Judith and this way it was a clean break and the memories are happy ones.

I think that barge is safer side on in this wind, could give a grp or a woody quite a sqeeze! There is a few tonnes of non forgiving steel in her.
