DEVON AND CORNWALL CONFIRMED FOR MON/TUES

A very busy day, the badger attack last night was quite destructive but at least I caught sight of it's escape route and had a hygiene clean up and a few smells down to put them off and reinforced the defences along the bottom of the hedge to rear of the garden. They are obsessive diggers and seem to just like digging holes. Then I got on with the days planned work, painting the greenhouse, long, tiring, hard work, frightening working over glass etc but eventually I got it done and had a read of the papers mid afternoon. Then got the DVD stock right up to date for the Heaton Park rally at Manchester tomorrow. A chance of showers so the new PMP branded tent will see action for the second time. Hopefully it won't actually rain as that would help packing away, last year was the first of two washouts at Heaton Park and then Showbus. The Penrith truck DVD wouldn't burn last night but I managed it this evening. There are of course a few half made projects resulting from more 'quiet' destinations and distant. We'll find something to go with Lancaster and when I get to South West Wales we can finish that with the scenes at Aberystwyth and Cardigan. I'm adding the latest DVDs to our shop. I'll update Amazon and EBay next week.

We've had the first downloads of digital photos from our Smugmug shop, thousands and thousands of shots for you to work through covering old, new, local, abroad, bus, tram,truck,trolleybus and more. Here are the covers of the latest DVDs.

We have got all DVD orders to date sent off in the post today, anything received now onwards will go out on Wednesday after we have been to Macclesfield hospital for Mandy's ct scan. After Wednesday as a rest/ catch up day I should be getting out on Thursday or Friday dependent on the weather. The programme for Devon is Exeter and Plymouth and we are overnight in Camborne at the Wetherspoon hotel and then down to Penzance and Truro and see what time we have left. There is a chance we may be able to catch up with my sister Yvonne and Graham in Cornwall as they are on holiday in Devon and are thinking of visiting the Eden project. I've some editing for the Battles Over commemoration on 11th November, that should have it finished so I can put to one side, handing the files to Roger who is co ordinating the evening which we'll miss being in Madagascar at that time.
