A short trip into the local market town of Romsey for a face to face meeting with a printer this morning. On the way back I stopped at the old Horsefair to take a couple of pictures. Trylon and his son keeping me on my toes. Wink

I had a Gallery on my "Judson Register" website. I told people to drive to their favourite spot and put their car in front of the view and take a picture...simple.

I got loads of pictures of their cars in front of their garages. Laughing

Hopefully this will play worldwide. It's the best program on UK TV and I'm saying this as a non-fisherman. This features the river in the picture, the River Test...

Reminds me of “Fishing With John” a great series of fishing adventures with John Lurie. There is one with Tom Waits that’s particularly hilarious. John did you ever get your beauty rings restored? And I remember you posting a site that sells a re-pop that looks good, I can’t seem to find it.

I'm a big Tom Waits fan...I'll check it out. Smile

I didn't hear anything back from the Beauty Ring restorer. It was last year after they had just lifted lockdown. I'll give them another go John.

These are the Drake repro rings, I have. : https://bobdrake.com/products/1949-51-ford-beauty-...&_ss=r

Partially cloudy morning but with it being the only sunlight forecast for the week, took the opportunity to shoot a few pictures on a 40 mile run.
