It has been quiet around here.  I just watched one of my old videos from about 15 years back.  If you've got 9 minutes, here it is:

Thanks Paul, I never did get across the sea to Ireland.  Well done.  I find with my video group it's our old videos that are most interesting.

Re: Post your videos here

I haven't been filming much lately as I am trying to sort out a flooding problem with our property in the UK.
This is a video that I decided to make at the last minute at one of our local "haunts" in Spain to show what we get up to. It's a different way of life (and certainly cheaper) however with the water shortage this year it may not be as it has been for a long time unfortunately.

Re: Post your videos here

A big part of my life from 1968 until 2012 I was involved in motor racing and was quite successful. I won approximately 300 races along with 2 British championships and held the lap records at most circuits that I raced at, including the UK/Ireland and Spa in Belgium.
Obviously I couldn't film the races that I was in but I did sometimes use a GoPro inside the car in later years.
This is a film that I made back in 2015 after I had hung up my crash helmet and a lot of the guys that I used to race with are in it.

Re: Post your videos here

Hello Hello ! is there anybody there ?
Well at this moment instead of being in sunny Spain with a serious water shortage we are at home with too much ! So much so that our garden got flooded when a water drainage pipe that runs through our property got blocked up. I am still in the midst of sorting that out and did a quick walk around the garden with the old handheld camcorder. https://youtu.be/hrqeRuo8-68

Nope, nobody at all! Sorry, Gordon, but you’ll just have to get used to talking to yourself. https://punster.me/images/tongue.gif

Lovely (the video footage, not the flooding)!

Thanks Gordon, it's obviously spring for you.  I didn't spot any flooding?

I'm here too, Gordon. I always enjoy your movies, even though I don't often comment.

Even before I became self-employed, and certainly now in retirement, I have talked to myself. One definite advantage is that you can never lose an argument. https://punster.me/images/myopera/myg/haha.gifhttps://punster.me/images/myopera/myg/haha.gifhttps://punster.me/images/myopera/myg/haha.gif

Too lazy, I suppose. Besides, I have to live with myself; imagine having to deal with the sulks. https://punster.me/images/tongue.gif

Looks a bit soggy Gordon - I can empathise, to an extent.

Your video reminded me of the video I took down at Grays Riverside Beach back in 2021, at least it wasn't my responsibility to clear the mess up. https://youtu.be/6jCpdjBQ1fU

Yes at least it didn't get into the house this time ! we came back from Spain one year and our kitchen floor had a coating of mud on it!! on that occasion it was caused by a road drain being blocked up further up the road that sent water across the lawn on the other side of the house. I must admit I am getting a little fed up with the constant rain we keep having. Regarding your video, you obviously had to change what you probably intended to film for a day out and sometimes it can make it a bit more interesting.

It just keeps raining and raining, I just cant imagine it ever being sunny/warm and dry again ? This is just a quick walk out of my gate to the open countryside, I often do it simply to get a clear head and try and forget what is happening in this crazy mixed up world that we find ourselves in.

Yes I enjoyed that, a very different pace of life compared to me at a mere 77 years of age as I was at Brands Hatch at the weekend filming a friend !!

Thanks Alan.  Calculating their ages as the dates flashed by indicated quite a variation.  What was the oldest of them all?


Eric, 4 of the Elkhounds made 14, Fred made 11 (went off his legs), Solomon and Joy died of Cancer 11 and 6, The average age for an Elkhound is 14. The GSD's were rescue dogs, we didn't know their age.

Thanks for watching.

I love Donkeys, I'd like 2 or 3 donkeys in our field, but the Vet bills can be quite high.

I still like some of the old hippy music and some of our local musicians in Spain can still play it. I filmed this at a local bar a couple of years back to entertain the OAPS (including me) !! and yes that is my wife who appears at the start !
