@dw1305 note the huge Agave stork in the last picture, got my eye on that one for a didgeridoo!

PS saw this crazy £2 million 250mph car on the way in to town, we have a max speed limit of 35mph but that does not seem to bother the folk who can afford such luxuries!

That's mad, I bet it doesn't get out of 1st gear

Hi all,

@dw1305 note the huge Agave stalk in the last picture, got my eye on that one for a didgeridoo!

That is brilliant, they don't flower very frequently and then it's curtains, so it is along time before you get another chance .

Cheers Darrel

I didn't get the chance to find out Tim, it was closed.
Only here for a 2 day visit but should hopefully get some free time during the day tomorrow to have a peek inside.

Visited Mount Saint Bernard Abbey today. It's a Cistercian Monastery set in beautiful Charnwood countryside. It has its own brewery and produces two types of beer, blond and ale, both are superb.

Good Trappist beer. The only one brewed in the UK.

Somewhere in France?

Sorry foxfish, only just seen this.

Yes it's an old fortified town in Western France. Didn't have much time for sight seeing, was there to sign off an automated welding machine at Lincoln Electric who have there French manufacturing headquarters in this location.
Used to be SAF/Air Liquide site before Lincoln bought the welding division a few years ago.

I built a new kite and go it up in the air last night. It flew well.

This design is based on traditional Japanese multi-line bridle Edo kites, but with modifications including pretty small (22" X 38" sail) size, simplified bridle configuration and the round vents.
