Did you run low on E10? Unusual angle, and I generally tried to avoid it, but is it Laphroaig?

Some of their wares are OK, there was a nice cask strength. I believe His Mage is partial to a drop, possibly explaining his rush to get his crate on the runway that time. His Great great great granny was a big fan but didn't allow it indoors...

That sounds idyllic

I've have been dutifully doing the good husband bit for the past two days. One day of walking followed by another day of National Trust property. Next two days back on the water

Cracking pictures Dave

Think I've got two more days of good weather before it turns a bit wetter and much cooler. Hopefully two days on the sea and maybe one day on the river before home. And I must attempt to catch some mackerel! they look good.
