Spent three nights in the C&MC site in Bristol. The crescent is the famous royal crescent in bath. The ship is the first passenger ship to cross the Atlantic Ss Great Britain, designed by Brunel, and of course the bridge is the Clifton suspension bridge also designed by Brunel.

A great morning round Castleton this morning. Not been down Cave Dale for quite some time.

Bill I seen one in the street yesterday, had not seen one for years. A young lad owned it. Only the French could design something like this.

Possibly a bit slower than a 2CV
Only a 2CV is faster over speed bumps though.

I reckon you would be even faster off the mark Trev.

Here in East Sussex, our scenery is softer, and not nearly as dynamic as many of the superb views posted in the thread. This is today's five mile stroll:

15 minute walk from the front door.

There were a dozen deer grazing here about a week ago.

A mixed wood full of birdsong. A cuckoo warned it's young to stay quiet and keep low only two days ago.

Last train left from this busy station in 1968. Back home for a brew in 15 minutes.

Sussex is a really beautiful county.

I've said it before, but your drawings are fabulous. You've a real talent, and thank you for sharing.

I wonder what your daughter thinks about your sharing her age.

Hmm. Perhaps it was 4years ago...memory gets a bit fuzzy after all this time.
Also through the lens of fuzzy memory I seem to remember at the time the CEO of Citroen was a big bloke, and wouldn’t approve any design without a high roof, hence most Citroen’s at the time were rather tall. 2CV had to be drivable by farmers full of god knows what on roads and across ploughed fields...which remembering French roads at that time was pretty much the same thing. Used to stick to the roads like s**t, probably rather alarming to oncoming traffic as it cornered er well the opposite to what motorbikes, do leaning outwards.
They hold a surprising amount of stuff, I remember arriving in a campsite being watched by a bemused Dutchman as we disgorged two kids, loads of camping stuff, table stove and suchlike, a big frame tent, and then took out the seats which made nice comfortable camping furniture. One design issue was that with the roof down, the cross bar just behind the drivers head tended to swat wasps Which landed angrily down the drivers neck!

Oh bu***r! I mean 40 years ago!
