Pootling around Westbury.

We have just spent three weeks working in Westbury.  On the whole it is a lovely place to work, except on rainy days, and we had two of them.  Yuck.  But the other days the weather was magnificent.  I walk around 5 kilometres per day on the same round, so it doesn't change much.  However, I do love to take photos.

Lovely old Model T Ford.

Gorgeous roses.

Out and about on the March Long Weekend

We had a lovely Spyder ride for cappuccinos at Cressy, then took a scenic ride to surrounding areas this morning.  I took some photos along the way.  Some good, some not so good.  It's can be hard to take photos going 110kms, but it's fun to try.

112th Exeter Show 2026

We went to the Exeter Show today, along with the Spyder Riders Tasmania.  Last year we had looked at the Sypders at the Exeter Show and this year we are one of the group.  We had a great time meeting some of the members, and looking around the exhibitions at the show.  We caught up with Crystal and Gerrard for a bite of lunch at Burt Monroe's.

Life doesn't get much better than this.
