We are taking advantage of the quiet roads to take the Westfield out for a blast around the Peak District. Hopefully find a pub open for lunch, but packed a small picnic just in case.

Normally I hate the bagpipes but quite enjoying the marching pipers in their varied colours.

Best bit so far was Joe Biden having to wait at the entrance whilst a whole load of other people walked in from the side.

Apparently he (Biden) refused to take the bus so I think there will be one of those bird helicopter planes moving west later.
Eta looks like they are the entourage with the president in a normal helicopter.
V22 Osprey. Quite a cool looking contraption not that I would go anywhere in a flying machine !

I'll try and watch but need some sleep first. After which there will be a disgusting email to our new CEO, as they only used our behaviors of being coop to show the world we are virtue signaling. Had they really wanted to show their colleagues they cared, they would have closed the warehouses too and not just the shops. We are staying operational because it's a bank holiday and we're always work on a bank holiday. Funny that, I thought our stores opened on bank holidays too. Rant over. You didn't have to go to work today.... you could have phoned in and said you "had the Covids", just as thousands of other people have been doing over the past 2 years.

It's on the tv as Gill wanted it on, I am finishing off the trim in the kitchen, scaffolding is now going up for the solar to be fitted tomorrow.
Might climb the scaffold later when they bugger off and clean the gutters out and wash the bedroom windows.
RIP

Intrigued by the solar Dave ... keep us updated (photos) re the fitting and results. I'm actually more interested by what you'll 'harvest' now than in summer 👍
Jane's watching with head phones ... I don't like funerals ... anybodies ... there will not be one for me.

Granddaughter (8yo) has apprently been absolutely engrossed in this coverage. We twigged its actually the first ever funeral she will ever have witnessed or seen.
Daughter did explain that not everybody will have a funeral like this...
The follow up question was,
'So how do you become Royal?'

Sad day, spectacular display. We may be a little country, but today the world was ours.

I've watched some and will watch the rest when I get home. I did listen to Radio 4 whilst driving up... found parts of it interesting and have been searching google for answers to questions that arose. Love pageantry. Nephew was one of those lining the route.

Just got back to the caravan in Cornwall missed it all. There was a problem* at the boat, left at 07.30 drove 270miles there, spent hour or so neutralising the problem drove 270miles back. I can sleep easy tonight.
* it appears one battery has a shorted cell, decided it was better to be safe and disconnect it all rather than risk it going bang.

The country certainly does pomp and ceremony very well ... I'm confident it will have been exemplary.

Decided to head to Greenwich this morning. The Thames was silent, not a thing moving. Greenwich Park was pretty quiet. Sat at the airport now waiting to head north.

Roads were very quiet and gave us an opportunity to get a wriggle on. Probably shouldn’t say I’m already looking forward to the next one 😊
