You don't see this very often - tractors on the beach at Weston super Mare!
I took part in my local tractor club's road run for "Drive it day".

And so begins my homeward treat, the road bends to the right, over the hill and snakes between a few villages, under old disused railway bridges and through farm fields. It has very little traffic and I daresay many don't know it exists, so it's safe to "open up" the rental cars and have a bit of a "Top Gear" moment after the usual dreary Monday business drag to the M25 building.
I'm not a dangerous boy racer, but it is nice to find an open road like this and motor along with countryside all around, and this few miles is a cracker.

The 2nd image works a treat - very atmospheric (of the area - I think) - really effective - colours/shades
South Wales??

I've passed the Steelworks quite a few times and thought that there were some great photo shots around there

You can get a pretty decent sunset from the main beach (about 2 miles long) theres also a beach behind the steelworks called Morfa beach, but I'm not sure if that path is still open, you go past Margam crem entrance and follow the road past british oxygen, then it's on foot over a level crossing and about a mile to the beach.
Also up behind the Margam abbey entrance on the hill is the old abbey ruins, not a bad view from there.

I had to take Mrs badger to Bewdley to get her nails done and thought I'll stick around rather than the 10 miles or so home,back to Bewdley and then home again.
Now the following do nothing other than prove the beer is and has always been too strong in Bewdley !
Signs that show they must be/have been Pished
It says no Parking on the wall but you would only just about fit a Bicycle down there !
They managed to erect a sign to tell you what the street used to be called but not one that tells you what it is called ?
They didn't have to be Piished hik hik for this one.

Today Mrs WW became British! Or actually she became of dual nationality 
Here she is receiving her certificate with the mayor. Later we went for a celebration meal with some friends and Mrs WW was very happy
A panorama I did from a car park in town. The shops were shutting and the roads were quiet and in the distance you can see a famous bridge and the industry beyond. I didn't take these pictures to stitch but I just spotted that they might stitch when I got home.

And she know knows more about English life, culture, history and customs, and speaks better English than most of the people whose families have lived here for generations
Well done!

The leaning bus! I think this illustrates the perils of using an electronic shutter to photograph a moving vehicle, from another moving vehicle...

If you thought that bus was bent, take a look at what the electronic shutter has done to this telegraph pole...
