WINE AND CHEESE WEDDING AND BULL

Hi Ho, it's been rubbish if mild weather today and I never ventured out of doors at all. I had intended to do some gardening but it rained. i had intended to film trucks a Middlewich but it rained and got very windy. I had intended to wash Mandy's car but alas these were the things left undone.  There is of course no great urgency for any of it. Tonight we are out at a wine, cheese and carols party in the village. Tomorrow morning we head west along the north wales coast to Anglesey where we stay at the historic Bull Inn of Dickens fame in Beaumaris. We have a family wedding these on Saturday morning and then Sunday we'll head back home at some stage late morning and catch up on the PMP orders. Mandy has actually taken 3 lots of post to the village shop today so that we are sure that every possible thing has been sent off in good time.

Anything which arrives tonight onwards will go out on Monday's post run. It hasn't died off altogether and really I suppose it is still busier than a normal week but a rest is required and we'll not break our necks for Amazon etc. I did get up quite early this morning, once I'm awake and my left knee wants to stretch it starts getting cramp if I don't get up so I made the most of it and got the post done and started to trim up lots more photos for filing and putting on our Smugmug site. There are thousands which want putting on so another rainy day next week will come in handy although if it could just be a bit murky it would suit tomorrow so I can film in North Wales. If not there will have to be a few tea stops en route. Anyway I've been productive today having worked my way through 7 hours of standard 8 cine film put on to tape. I've now cleared up the dining room ready for the cleaners next Monday and Christmas meals.

The next stage with the films is to download on to the computer and then put clips on Youtube and then sells off the reels on EBay. There were only a few gems among them such as one by Mobil with Butane gas delivery, petrol sales on the forecourt etc in 60s, a really good one on Jersey in the 1960s with JMT Leyland PD2s seen. . Another good one was Hastings carnival 1963, my dads band the Sussex Yeomanry looked to be in the parade , a careful study is requited to verify and fingers crossed identify some of his contemporaries. I'll try blogging from The Bull tomorrow and Saturday, must rush all that wine to consume and cheese to drink.. oh well merry whatsits and speak again soon.
