Thank you Australia. 

The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG), the UK’s leading voice for riders, has submitted its vision to Transport Scotland’s ‘Just Transition’ consultation. Scotland’s Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop announced in April 2025 that the 20% car use reduction target by 2030 was “not realistic.” She told MSPs, “We will need to drop the target, or change it from 20%,” citing minimal progress since 2020. This policy failure demands a re-think, opening doors for motorcycling, previously ignored in car reduction plans now under review. Cars dominate Scotland’s roads, causing congestion and emissions. Motorcycles offer a practical solution, affordable for Scots of all incomes. “Hyslop’s admission creates space for bold alternatives like sustainable motorcycling for Scotland,” said Colin Brown, Director of Campaigns & Political Engagement at MAG. “Motorcycles are environmentally friendly and ready for a just transition.” MAG says sustainable motorcycling transforms transport options   for Scotl...

We try not to go anywhere over the bank holiday weekend. If the weather is good, the roads where we live are gridlocked. So as an exception we are off to Suffolk to stay for two nights at a Caravan Club CL near Darsham.  This is a new one for us. It's Friday to Sunday. So we will be at home for the bank holiday Monday.  The CL isn't all that fat off the A12 and so I hope it won't be too noisy.  At least this s the single carriageway section.  There are places to visit in the area from Pitch 13 at the CL. We are on the new site alongside the CL itself. It looks very rustic from the website -  https://barnabeesholidaycottages.co.uk/index.php/new-caravan-site We need to be away early Friday to make the most of the day. On the way up we need to look out for the petrol station where we bought the very cheap diesel on one of our previous journeys up that way. Of course, we have to expect the the Dartford Crossing will be usual nightmare.

Woofy is a bull lurcher that has been in kennels and lately in a foster home for over 275 days. He really needs to have a home of his own.  He is currently at Kent Greyhound Rescue .

When we bought the new phones there was an offer to claim a free pair of Galaxy Bud FE earphones and a Galaxy Fit 3 smart band. Of course we both applied ASAP. Mine arrived yesterday.  Claire's  due tomorrow.... She is quite miffed. Straight out of the box the Fit 3 connected to the phone and we were off. No messing like with other smart bands we have tried over the years. It looks okay too.

The front garden has two raised beds and I like tulips. So I took a couple of photos of them.
