Saturday night blog.....gotta keep you fed!!

 I've been working the last few days, on preparing for the big trip....got the bags packed today..(a week early)..did some last minute tune-up of the itinerary, mowed the lawn, and put things in place ready for the house sitters to arrive...8 days from now, i will be in Budapest, Hungary... you won't get any blogs for 8 weeks...
Next 15 days will be cruising up the Danube and Rhine Rivers.....
 short stop in Amsterdam, then catch a train to France...
a week in France..looking up Anita and Cols relatives/heritage from the town of Fruges
 Then off to England to see their uncle Arthur..and some friends up near Cambridge
No car shows, but a must do is the WW2 museum at Duxford..lots of Spitfires here...Anita and Cols dad flew a Spitfire in WW2
 Then off to Ireland for 9 days of Blarney stone kissing, and potatoes cooked a gazillion ways
will be between 10C to 18C most of the first 6 weeks, so we will high-tail it outa there to Italy to do the cruise ship to Greece....then back home on the 15th June, just in time to organise my June 19 coffee morning at Victoria point, and the June 23 mid-week lunch rod run to Lowood...never a dull moment in my life!!
 wet...the bubble burst on my mid-week run....we drove thry rain on and off all the way to Boonah..
 However, those that did come,, the weather cleared once we got to the Dugandan Pub...good food, some newbies, so all good...next one is to Lowood Pub, on June 23..details when i get back..
 some pics from Les W..he called over to Bob Wilson (Wilson makes those cool brake kits )..
like the can opener/return spring holder..
 I think...this is his old salt flat deuce, that's going back on the street...is this correct, LW?
 Bob and Charlie....at a loss for words, it seems...
 lot of interesting pieces on this car


 Les sends his greetings to you-all back home..
