IT'S NOT TOO HOT AT ALL BUT NOTHING IN THE NEWS?

Usually a heatwave dominates all our British news coverage, a sign of the times I suppose as we can wallow in hand wringing and bitterness and not mention the heat. Half the country loves it and half hates it, reminds me of Brexit only we get the sun for free.  I took a couple of bananas out with me this morning for lunch although breakfast was more like it. I've had three icecreams and three bottles of drinks as well as water, coming back home from Bristol the car temp showed 35 degrees near Gloucester, needless to say it started to edge down as I reached Cheshire. It was a very successful filming day starting at my usual location at the roundabout at Ross on Wye and then moving up to Monmouth. It was very well timed as the carriageway was slowed down by grass cutting, all the usual carriageway closures, elf and safety signs , millions of pounds of overkill really but it slowed down my subjects which included the Stobart mobile training centre.

After this I went down to Avonmouth docks which turned up trumps yet again with a great selection so we might as well start our slide show there. I got spotted by a truck driver who recognised me as the chap from P{MP, the fame has spread from buses to lorries it seems. The Youtube advertising is still rocketing up which means that we don't have to relay on the ever diminishing returns of bus or truck events. It's Kelsall this next weekend, we are setting up on Friday afternoon, mainly so I can get shots of the lorries coming in. It is one of the largest lorry events after Gaydon although slightly camouflaged as a steam event but take no heed it is a huge lorry show with ERF and Foden and now other clubs having their own sections of the showgrounds. Mandy gets home from Ireland tomorrow evening, every window in the house is open, I'll just load some shots and get the film downloaded to the computer. Ready with the slide show here we go..
