Proud Yorkshireman, love the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France - passions are my family, friends, French wine, Tamla Motown, Northern Soul and my Lambretta

It’s a lovely warm evening in late April in York and that means it’s ‘11300’ time - first of the year but I hope not the last 😄 @Begude

@TimurNegru We’ve been doing the Santander run into northern Spain for the last 3 years - great experience onboard and some fantastic places to explore around the region and into Galicia

@NorthernSoul73 @slimoneill @AthleticsDad Some new tunes there for me and I will look them up to educate myself further, I’m only 70 and happy to keep being introduced to new tunes 👍

@ZackPolanski If they are ‘hell on earth’ then hopefully you can use your influence to get the French authorities to make them better - it’s not a UK problem

@Mericamemed I once had the opportunity to go on exercise for a few days with 4RTR in Germany (in a Chieftain MBT) - the pressurised bag charge containers were full of Tennants lager 🍺

@tonyblackburn Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses scattered all around
The time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it any more
Saw marigolds upon my eider down

@LeeChildReacher Just finished it on holiday, it’s the worst Reacher storyline / plot I’ve read - a Reacher book normally has me hooked from the first couple of chapters and read in a few days - I’ve forced myself to finish this one and unfortunately I think this will be my last Reacher book 🥲

@Jenny_1884 And in the 80’s it moved to Le Piat d’Or - “The French adore Le Piat d’Or” 😄

@JamesLucasIT The Hay Wain by John Constable - until you are just in front of it you don’t appreciate the complexity snd beauty of the painting - it was a moment I will never forget
