I watched that. Lovely looking car, terrible impact Parkinson’s has on sufferers.
My brother in law (of which I have been most un-complimentary) has early onset Parkinson's. Nasty.
He has an implant which has had a transformative effect, although it's tempting to see if I can hack it.
Great progress being made in some aspects of treating it.

Yes, as you know my sis was head of major gifts at Parkinson’s U.K. We lost an uncle to the awful disease a long time ago.
No that’s not mineThanks for keeping him safe. I love Herons. They have a roost in Bookham common, not far from Leatherhead animal rescue centre (I've taken any number of birds there over the years) and only a 10 minute walk from my home, so I get to see herons on the wing from time to time. One of them is fond of perching atop a neighbour's tree. All in all, I do pretty well for herons.
Bet you're glad he's out of your pond though.
You don't, by any chance drive this do you? I saw it parked in Bookham earlier today. Gorgeous.

We drove past one today, only a couple of miles away. Had to stop at traffic lights just in front of it so had a chance to give it a looking at. Its a large pub that has been there for many years, taken over by Weatherspoon's about 10 years ago, maybe more. It was packed outside with people who appeared to be having a great time, sitting at tables which were very well separated and waiter service was going strong serving food and drink. Although the weather was fine there were umbrellas over most tables and patio heaters. It just looked like any other pub with normal common or garden people enjoying an afternoon drink with their families. Of course there are exceptions, as there are in many pubs in many areas, but is it just the name Weatherspoon's which has contributed to the slagging off they get. Either way, I would have been happy enough to have been sitting there having a beer instead of stopped at the lights, also I didn’t have a track suit or my pajamas with me. But seriously, they can’t all be bad and don’t deserve the bad press they get, agreed nothing like a good bistro or brasserie, but we make the best of what we have got.
When you say twenty years, do you mean on this planet or inside prison?You two ought to try Wetherspoons in Cambridge. If you're over twenty the bouncers won't let you in. Twenty years that is, not stone.
Going through some of my late father's stuff for some inspiration for my little workshop and i have decided I'm calling it Woodrim Cars Ballots.

I'm going to be painting this on one of the walls.
Agree with that - Love The Cross Keys and as a Real Ale drinker will often seek out a ‘Spoons for a choice.I actually quite like most Wetherspoon's pubs I've been in. There's several in London that I know I can get a decent pint at a reasonable price in comfort <shrug>
