TOO BUSY TO RETIRE I HOPE NOT

I can't start with I've been busy as that features too often but it's the truth. Anyway at least the weather has bucked up a little and after the hectic and sometimes traumatic day it was almost therapeutic to rip up some of the species geranium in the borders which chokes all the other plants and is a pernicious weed here. I got a quote on the flights for the May 2016 China flights but i need to tie in with the others first and see what they want to do, it's Air France and works out well from Manchester, I've used it a couple of times in the past although once they couldn't land at De Gaulle and I lost the connection and the ground staff all went and hid, they are much better in the air.

We are off down the Pheasant this evening, the new summer beer was launched last week but its a bit too pale for my liking, we are meeting Tom Loyd there and perhaps it will be a Guinness evening. I feel quite chuffed that I'm on top of the garden despite my knee and everything else but the test will come on Sunday when I tackle the hedges at the bottom. I finished the Balloon DVD over Whitchurch last night and post clips on our Youtube channel. When I have a quieter day at work I'll bring home the next batches of photos to load on our Smugmug channel. I've put yet another brief sale on our EBay shop should you require any of the more recent releases. The full range as ever on our own shop and at Amazon which has produced most of today's DVD orders. The next DVD job is really to try and get the next Scottish social archive finished off, I'm well on with the picture side of the production.

I'm trying to find a minute to speak to my sister Susan and Graham should i ever get a minute and bring them up to speed with retirement and my knee operation. We shall be covering buses over the next few days and releases should come over the weekend. We are having some extra time in Kent after the Herne Bay rally, hoping to cover Maidstone this time plus trucks at Dover. Here are the Youtube links to the balloon flight clips.
