I didn't take these photos, just posted them to complement the chat on TRAB, sad to say I haven't tried the Wobble, I must go to the next festival and try it.

Oh to be in England now that summer's here (to misquote).

Miles and miles of accidental loveliness.

After today's drive to Poole I can say summer was over.

Lovely pics. Thanks very much for taking me back.

I won't go into details but the people of Stur and it's surrounds saved my life 10 years ago last month with their kindness and understanding while I was having the mother of all nervous breakdowns which was so bad it led to a year off work.

Raining here as well!

Ah memories - I used to organise our Squadron reunions and for some years until 2014 after which it got too expensive, we held it over a weekend at Plumber Manor Country House Hotel & Restaurant in Stur and had an excellent time there. Prior to the evening festivities we used to gather at the Trooper Inn in Stourton Caundle and one year had a guided tour round Sturminter Mill. Fun times!
