Every year, members of the South Wales Morris Minor Owners Club participate in a Poppy Day run.
Seen here at the Newport Transporter Bridge, South Wales prior to their run to St Magdalene's Church in Goldcliffe on the outskirts of Newport for a service.
The weather was unfortunately very wet, but that didn't seem to spoil the event.

Album: The Rising Tide
Someone right now is leaving their apartment
Looking down at the street and wondering where their car went
Someone in the car sitting at a signal
In front of a restaurant, staring through the window
At someone right now with their finger in their teeth
Who could use a little floss right across the street
There's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket
Spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered
Now he gotta walk fourteen blocks
To work at a shop where he's about to get fired
Someone right now is looking pretty tired
Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired
Somebody living right across the street
She wrote the best things she's written all week
But her best friends coughing up blood in the sink
Can't even think what happened, feeling so confused
And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do
I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes
But no I'm just taking it in
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back
But in this world everything can change just like that, like that
Yo, somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a box
And trying not to get shot in his throat
For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq
Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing
In a war that he's not really sure of the reasons
So we show our support when the press mislead them
Though we more than remain proud and salute the troops
Get some I know you boys got some work to do
Meanwhile right now someones 25 to life
And is standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking
Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
Sneaking through the border just to work and to eat a real dinner
Right now someone wishes they were you were not
Instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide
But right now I'm staring at the window at a frame
With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans
He pulled out his ciggerette sparked the light
And walked right around the corner just outta my sight
But yo I'm just taking it in
From the second story hotel window again
The TV's on and my bags are packed
But in this world everything can change just like that, like that
But yo I'm just taking it in
From the second story hotel window again
The TV's on, and my bags are packed
But in this world everything can change just like that, like that
Ya, right now somebody's sitting in the darkness
Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment
But they got no mattress no carpet
And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench
You see them when you rushing to get to the office
Wife robbed blind when she coming from the market
Right now somebody coming out from the pocket
Trying to dump that rock they run around the block with
The same time the cops is raising the glock with aim
To fill your legs and back with some hot shit
Right now somebody struggling to stop this man
Who's kicking and punching and cussing at the doctors
Down the hall the child taking his first breath
The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet yo
I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet
Like the time spent while we here on the earth yet
The answer to the question that we all seek
Can be found depend on how free y'all think
Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week
That would kill for the shit that you throw away in the street
I guess ones man's trash is the next man's treasure
One man's pain is the next man's pleasure
One say infinity the next say forever
Right now everybody got to get it together man
I'm just taking it in another strange hotel lobby again
Put my luggage on my back, I don't know where I'm at
I'm in world where we all change just like that
Yeah, but no I'm just taking it in
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back
But in this world everything can change just like that, like that, yeah

I'm sure there was a time when Traveller's in excellent condition were selling for close to £10,000.
This one certainly looked very good.

Sanguisorba minor Scob. Sbsp. balearica (Buorg ex Nyman) Muñoz Garm & C. Navarro. Sinonimi, Poterium sanguisorba L.
Famiglia : Rosacee, Nome comune: Ravastrello comune o Pampinella.
Il nome deriva dal latino “Sanguis e sorbeo” per la sua proprietà officinale di fermare il sangue delle ferite e cicatrizzare; mentre il nome specifico la distingue dalla capostipite della specie: Sanguisorba officinalis, più vistosa, che pero manca in Sardegna.
Anche in Sardegna è conosciuta come pianta officinale, cicatrizzanti e astringenti. Un antica legenda ungherese narra che Csaba, re degli Unni e figlio di Attila, resuscitò il suo esercito grazie a questa pianta.
Orobanche minor Sm., syn.: Orobanche langei Huter, Porta & Rigo, Orobanche major f. hypochoeridis Beck, Orobanche maritima Pugsley, Orobanche salisii Req. ex Coss. Orobanche crithmi Bertol., Orobanche grisebachii Reut., Orobanche salisii Reut., Orobanche pumila Rchb., Orobanche pyrrha Rchb., Orobanche barbata
and about 20 other names.
Family: Orobanchaceae Vent.
EN: Lesser Broomrape, Common Broomrape, DE: Kleine Sommerwurz, Klee-Würger, Kleeteufel
Slo.: mali pojalnik
Dat.: May 5. 2023
Lat.: 44.51458 Long.: 14.31025
Code: Bot_1523/2023_DSC2872
Habitat: sandy sea shore, among grasses and other tall herbs; locally flat terrain; open, sunny, dry place; precipitations ~ 900 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, elevations 6 m (20 feet), Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region.
Substratum: sandy soil.
Place: Adriatic Sea region, island Susak, sea shore about 200 m north of the harbor, Kvarner archipelago, Rijeka region, Croatia.
Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Orobanche minor): Orobanche minor was a few hundred years ago a Mediterranean species. However, it was spread by men by agricultural trade almost all over the world. Today it can be found in the almost whole Europe, in Africa, Asia, America and New Zeeland. Although widely distributed, it is quite a rare plant. The possible exception is monoculture agricultural land where its hosts grow e.g. clover fields, where it can appear massively and can completely destroy the harvest.
This find is from island Susak in Adriatic Sea having a unique geology. The island is the only one among hundreds of islands along east shore of Adriatic Sea, consisting 100% from sand.
Orobanche species are very variable. Proper determination is not always an easy task. In addition, their appearance depends on their actual host. This heavily pertains to Orobanche minor since its hosts are many: several species of Trifolium, other Fabaceae as well as Asteraceae. However, the combination of traits of the plants shown here speak in favor of Orobanche minor: small to medium size plants with densely glandular pubescence, small flowers (compared to other similar species), tubular, only slightly inflated at the end, corolla with conspicuous violet veins near the upper lip, almost glabrous style with dark purple-brown two-lobed stigma, entire calix segments and long bracts.

The Motor magazine tested a four-door saloon in 1952. It reported a top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and acceleration from 0–50 mph (80 km/h) in 28.6 seconds. A fuel consumption of 39.3 miles per imperial gallon (7.19 L/100 km; 32.7 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £631 including taxes.
From 1952–56, an 803 cc a A-Series inline-four engine was used, producing 30 hp (22 kW) at 4,800 rpm and 40 ft⋅lb (54 N⋅m) of torque at 2,400 rpm
A horizontal slat grille was fitted from October 1954, as well as a new dashboard with a central speedometer.
This is a minor annoyance in my life. And I'm sure if it was you, it'd annoy you too.
We're sharing our displeasure in We're Here! today.

Orobanchacée (ex-Scrophulariacée) thérophyte estival hémiparasite, de 15-50 cm, aux tiges effilées et aux feuilles opposées et dentées, souvent confondue avec le Rhinanthe à crête de coq ou Cocriste (R. alectorolophus*). Bractées vert sombre (vert clair pour *) à dents triangulaires, les inférieures au maximum 3 fois aussi longues que larges (plus de 3 fois pour *).
Calice glabre sur les faces (jaunâtre et velu pour *). Corolle jaune pâle de 12-15 mm à tube droit et gorge légèrement ouverte (15-25 mm, à tube courbé dans la partie supérieure et à gorge fermée par la lèvre inférieure pour *).

Espèce mésophile en régression (tout comme *) des prairies de fauche ou Arrhénathéraies qui se maintient essentiellement aujourd'hui dans des milieux de substitution. Le nom de genre vient du grec rhinos : nez et anthos : fleur, par allusion à la forme allongée de la partie supérieure de la fleur (cf. H des Abbayes, F Couplan, Guide des groupements végétaux de la région parisienne et P Jauzein).
We didn't have a car when I was a child so we used to borrow whatever my grandad was driving at the time. In the late 1970s that was this Minor shown here on a day trip to Dalby Forest with me aged about 4 years old and my mum with her horrendous perm!
