A lovely day for thatching.

Cycling back through Littlebourne, having seen two motor accidents at the same junction, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, my spirits were uplifted by the sight of an old Kentish cottage being rethatched.

Fire, Smoke and Iron in Spain.

Martin Lloyd delivering copies of his new book, Fire, Smoke and Iron to the Rialia Museum of Industry in Portugalete.

My new title, Fire, Smoke and Iron – Spanish artists and the Bilbao iron industry has been published and is now on sale. Here I am delivering some copies of the book to the Rialia Museum of Industry in Portugalete which exhibits many of the paintings depicted in my book. 

Why not pop off to Bilbao, visit the museum and buy the book?

Off the map on the Pont Aven

On the way to Bilbao on the Brittany Ferries m.v. Pont Aven and I look 

on the deck plan to see where our cabin is. 

Luckily it has one of those 'you are here' facilities. 

Shock, horror! I am about to be run down by the ship.

Cars on cycle paths.

Went out for a ride this morning and came across this car on the Great Stour Way cycle path.

Judging by the attendance of the police, fire service and the air ambulance I would propound that he did not arrive there intentionally.
