Vorsprung Durch Drivetime
Hello hello you bloggers. What's happening with you? The estate is leaf covered again even though they were all gone moments ago. There was a wasp outside yesterday and I killed what I thought was a mozzie with an advent calendar. And the grass is is still growing. Apart from that, all is normal.
Last night's work's do was something to behold. It was, in truth, only management showing slides and videos but a glance around the room revealed Sir Tim Rice, Graham Norton, Gambo, Hot Rockin' Desmond Carrington From Perthshire, Scotland, Dermot, Steve, Chris , Ken and most of your favourites. Indeed you might be saying 'so what? that's who we would expect.' And you'd be right but we never see each other, so a good natter (as Mike Harding would say) was in order. A lovely photo was taken which will be shown for the next 20 years when the occasion dictates.
Today we welcome Geoffrey Palmer, one of our finest actors. From Reggie Perrin, "Butterflies" and "As Time Goes By" he has, by his own admission, cornered the market in 'dull plodding men'. He is fronting a campaign to get us involved in a nationwide campaign to make sure older folk don't spend Christmas alone. It's called "Companionship at Christmas" and Geoffrey will explain after 6.
And tunes today please for the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. This is because cuddly Ed Balls reveals in Total Politics magazine that it regularly reduces him to tears. Of laughter. It is, he says, when a big valuation leads a member of the public to say "It means more to me than money." That's generally the point at which I start to guffaw, wondering how much time will elapse before we see the priceless heirloom under the auctioneer's hammer.
My general rule of thumb is: the more composed the expression, the bigger the pound signs in the eyes. So the joys of the Antiques Roadshow please, celebrated in song.
Have a day of small triumphs and smiles. See you at 5.

Talking of gathering and 'whats happening here?'........
We are inundated with fungi of all descriptions. Its a foragers paradise. I took some pics on Sunday of some amazing inkcaps ( I think) row upon row of them, I got down to their level, much to the amusement of others!! and took some pics that will be on fb later on. So, if we have any fungi experts on here, maybe they can confirm what they really are. They were in all different stages, the more mature ones looking most disgusting, as if they were almost bleeding ink, pretty yuck, but totally fascinating all the same.

Unfortunately, there are also a lot of adders around, when they are ripe for picking, so you have to tread very carefully.
Remind, me, were you living close to the Quantocks? I drive through that way every evening. Thats where the unfortunate driver ( not The Driver!) came off the road a week or so back. In fact his vehicle is still sitting in the field that it 'landed' in!

Very late to the party today due to stupid breakfast meeting but the upside was amazing raspberry and white chocolate muffins and the most scrumptious hot chocolate :)
Loads of fab choon choices already so I'll just go with the one that popped into my head first when I read the remit ...

I know where Durleigh is Flo. The otters that I spotted in March of this year, were crossing the busy A39 near to Holford.
Happy Days.

Off to feed the parrot now before I get caught up in googledoodle.
See you during the show as I am out and about this afternoon. Umbrella at the ready.
