A hot sunny day, the first and probably last for Cheshire. We had a hectic day with another huge bag of post for DVDs, I'd got them ready by 7.30am then off to M&S at Handforth Dean, no queue at all and now around half the store can be reached on your way to the food hall. Today most of the large B&Q stores opened to ordinary customers and our local farm shop has their normal bedding plants on sale. There was a definate increase in cars on the M6 yesterday when I had the camera set up on the lower Peover overpass. After getting back home I finished painting the greenhouse and after lunch did another bout of tree felling. It is very intricate as there are two greenhouse next to the 40' Leylandii hedge gone mad in the neighbouring garden to next door, we both get the overhang. Then a rest with a beer, then I came in and downloaded another heap of DVD orders and Mandy is making a spag bog for tea. With the lack of pollution the light here is very intense, tomorrow the temperature starts to head down and more cloud and by May perhaps some rain, oh I also mowed the lawns, strimmed the edges, swept up, after dinner I'll water as has become usual, the driest April on record perhaps. It has certainly had a knock on the Youtube channel as both hits and revenue are down after an initial upward spurt, I think many people have had better weather and have been in the garden and not on Youtube. Hopefully as things get back to normal it will improve as advertising rates are miserable, who would want to advertise at present although we have to put in our copy for the transport mags each month whatever, they are already done now for June. I finally got the Bus Spot Ultra DVD finished this afternoon, next I need to make the four M6 truck DVDs I've filmed this week after that Bus Spot Ultra Trafalgar Square, London, other archives coming include Iberian Peninsular in the 1960-70's with plenty of British made buses and ex London Q1 trolleybuses. Another with the later days of British trolleybuses in the Tickety-boo series and one on the death of industrial railways in the UK and yet another on the early days of our transport museums and preserved railways. So plenty in the pipe line. As the momentum increases to return to normal I think people will just start to ignore all the lock down stuff, we have had it long enough, I think that there will be many relaxations when reviewed in 2 weeks time at the latest. I haven't watched the TV news for a long time just pick up the computer headlines, I can't stick all the propoganda messages. Here are some shots from the M6 motorway yesterday at Lower Peover, Cheshire. Comments are closed.
