Spent the afternoon on a Speed Awareness Course at Bristol Civil Service Sports Club, luckily I was aware enough to not try to get into the car park.
There were 24 of us on the course, 6 were women and 3 of the 18 men were called Simon!!!

Found a few Dinky cars from my collections to voyage on the Severn Princess, the boat is 1:48 and the vehicles are 1:43, almost the same scale.
In 3 months time it will be the 60th anniversary of its final crossing……I might try to get a full ferry load by then

Some of the maps from this week’s atlas.
They are relatively small but quite stunning
The Tallis printed atlas with vignettes by Rapkin was the last decorative world atlas
