Talking Finding a spot for a photo!

A little bit of TLC goes a long way!

After a good four-five weeks worth of neglect, it was time she had a bit of a wash 'n' dry! Only a small selection of the masses of pics taken...shame it wasn't a bit sunnier! Glad Stooky is getting some exposure! Its a bit annoying a good friend of mine inconveniently booked his wedding this weekend and am not able to partake in the EA Meet.....and even more so because i can't get my hands on one of those bears!

That Orwell Bridge goes quite a long way too. Don't leave your car there though, it floods at high spring tides, particularly near the equinox (not that we are at the moment).

This is, as I am sure you know, where a TV ad for the AA was filmed.

A shame you can't make the meet Chris, as it's on your doorstep & all.
But there's nothing stopping you (or anyone) buying a ticket for Stooky.

It's a popular spot for photos that. Although I didn't bother too much with it, as we were on the way to visit Mother.



I couldn't get in the first layby. Too many bloody tourists.


Car looks by the way.

PS. If I'm right, the other pics are not far from two places I used to work.

Fisrtly the Tolly Cobbold brewery at one end of the dock.
Then I worked for London Underground for a while at "Gipping House" Next to Stock Bridge. .... Ahhh memories.

So, Fletch, you are probably the first person I have met that will understand why I called my company Gipping Systems.

Pity you did not polish the car first.

Is the car a real V plate? Must be one of the first. Until a few days ago I thought the first ones were Ys, but I was 'corrected'. Looks great.
