Hi there all just a mid week ramble to keep you going till the next meet , which I hope you are all looking forward to. Bring your old photos and war wounds with you so we can have a good natter over a smooth pint.
We now put the summer behind us the autumn with its wonderful colors has almost gone and left us with mere memories and past us on to winter I know its not officially winter yet but I have scraped my car of ice twice this week, slipped on frosty leaves, though the other morning we were treated to a beautiful mist rising off the river soar, I know you can get Misty mornings in the summer but not with the mist smelling of cordite mixed with bon fire smoke it always reminds me of a live firing exercise in the army.
Autumn began with a subtle change in the light, with skies a deeper blue, and nights that suddenly become clear and chilled. The rustle of leaves under your feet, For me the Autumn comes to a halt with the first frost, the flocks of migrating birds becoming much larger and now they seem to have an urgency about them , the harvesting of the of the last of the years crops is in, The time of year when settling down is in order when travelling is done,. Time now to remember the Spring, Summer and Autumn and the meets we have had just gone. But hey what a year ????
Now most of nature is starting bedding down for winter which is only just weeks away, I always feel I should be doing the same and getting myself bedded down, but we still have one meet to go so lets see you all there.
This winter though I intend to stay ahead of the game . Next week I shall concentrate on the boat engine and car engine getting them ready for what ever winter throws at us I am not looking at forecasts if it happens it happens there is nothing I can do about that except be prepared, One fantastic thing about the boat as long as you are prepared you can sit out any winter, but even that can be “fun” at times ?? As long as you are prepared. So get your parkers out that you borrowed or purloined and get down to the White Heart on the 10th of December.
