Title: Hot summy weekend
Post by: Rods2 on 31 May 2013, 19:01:53
They have forecast this weekend being hot and sunny.  :y :y :y Good, it will give me chance to catch up in the garden, which is looking rather neglected.  ::)

What will you be doing?

Same as you. Pruning grapes back, weeding, putting shade up for some plants against the sun.

BBQ chicken on Sunday evening.

Gardening for me too...... ::) Front and back looking shabby as have not had the chance to do very much this year yet, it makes it worse the fact that the neighbours, on both sides, are all retired, and keen gardeners........ ;) ;)

Working a late shift later (Sat); finishing around midnight.

Then off work 'til Wednesday, so'll probably be preparing for our annual foray to the Welland Steam Rally, aided by our two youngest grandsons no doubt, who are presently counting-down the days to the big event:

... and this lunatic man's best friend:

Fancy yer chances at nickin' Seth's quad-bike? ... make my day!




Gotta take the caravan to have the mover sorted:

So quite a busy (but hopefully enjoyable) few days off work ... long may the sun shine folks! :y

My first sunny weekend away this season,friday was a nice surprise a RAF VC10 doing touch and go's at Cardiff airport,don't see many of those round our way.
Maybe Seth can help me with this query,is it normal for a inter city 125 to travel past Rhoose,I've stayed there many times and never seen one before.
All in all a pretty nice weekend.

  i spent the weekend at the Rockingham castle steam and tractor rally. There is a car show as well as a massive amount of other stuff going on. we were supposed to have a fly past by the Lancaster on the sunday afternoon but it was laid up, porly. so, they sent a DC3 dakota over. Bloke hanging out of the back waving at every one was a nice touch

                                           Alfie,

Seth'll happily explain it for ya, Alfie ...

When the SWML's closed 'twixt Cardiff and Bridgend, the VoG's used as a diversionary route.
HSTs (the FGW IC125s that you saw) are 'pathed-in' between the scheduled Arriva services, Aberthaw-bound MGRs and Milford Haven-bound oil tanks. Often happens late evenings and weekends for essential engineering works.

Wish I'd known about the VC10's appearance Alfie, as I'd have put in an appearance meself! :'(
