Some interesting stuff to see about the place. Of course if most of the town was not shut down waiting for the next winter it would not be as quiet as it currently is in the streets.
Seeing summer has arrived the poppies are poking their heads out all over he place.
Where the crop or grass is high you cannot see them unless you get up close. But once the grass has been cut and bailed the poppies pop out every where.
Streaming off the top of the low hill in the background it's not smoke or fog or forming cloud. It's actually pine pollen being taken aloft by the thermals or ridge winds moving up the mountain.
We saw this pallet of pork legs on the floor in the supermarket. I just had to ask the locals about them. It seems the leg is buried in salt for awhile and then hung in a cellar for 18 months to dry out.
We saw one of these legs on a spit arrangement on a cafe counter. Seems they'd just slice some off and serve when needed!
No, it's not an R1, it's Christoff's little runabout. Note the tow ball on the back. He uses it to tow the glider around the airfield. But we also see it down at the supermarket and other places.
This gent was quite agile with the mobility aid that was fitted to his wheelchair. He walked (wheeled) wings, dragged ropes and was very mobile.
I spoke with him about it and he explained how it worked. Where it attached etc.
It just clipped on or off a mounting bar fitted beneath the chair seat and off he went.
Ofcourse blokes being blokes he also told me it would do 20km/hr, but the other one he had at home would do 40!
Out for an evening meal at one of the very few restaurants open in town.
There are plenty of rocks and trees around here so it makes sense to build stuff with them.
Most of the houses are either built with or faced with local stone but I must say there is a lot of labour goes into building freestone.
And some are a lot more labour intensive depending on your taste in stonework
