I'm Wingin' It

Can the chain just be lifted off the bollard?
Great pics, just a hint of jealousy as I gaze out the window here.
 
Great Photos, Phone camera ?
All taken on a £120 Xaomi Redmi 14C android phone, which I only bought to update software on Voge. I’m using it as new iPhone 17 Pro Max not arrived yet and sold 15 Pro Max to Wapping .
I’ve also got an old iPhone SE with me that I keep in Wing cubby hole to use for Apple CarPlay.
The IPhone SE only has a 12 mega pixel camera whereas the Xaomi is 50 megs.
Just need to work out how to transfer all the pics to iPad.
Anybody got any ideas ?

Google photos or any other cloud based app?
 
The rain has arrived

But forecast sunny and 22 degs for rest of my trip
 
Forgot to mention I saw a wild boar and her two little ones run across the road just on daybreak this morning and descending into Argeles Gazost I saw the very large birds of prey flying low over my head .
Had white heads, possibly eagles ?

I used an Xiaomi for a couple of years and it was great. Wouldn't hesitate to have another and have kept it as a spare.
 
Looks quite autumnal, how’s the temperature?
22 yesterday.18 today.

Had a very pleasant meander up to Brantome which sits on the River Dronne.

Stopped for lunch here ( Boulanger is and sandwicherie just out of shot )

Crossed a nice bridge

Then crossed the Door dog knee and stopped for an icecream.
No sign of John Nettles though 🙃

Apparently I’d booked a room at that back but nice girl gave me a room with balcony and river view .
Nice big room and even got a clothes line 😀

They are customers of mine and are a lovely family

The farm has an ice cream parlour too and they have opened the parlour at Gloucester Docks too

Tasted their Wholly Gelato Ice Cream at Gloucester Services in June and you’re right ….it’s delicious

I couldn't resist it!
