Morning Fly :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sunshine here but it could try a bit harder. I think it needs a bob in the meter.

Good morning :-D <3

Dull here and not warm enough to venture out ;-) ;-)

Good morning Fly, Island and Von :-)

All good in this sunny corner unless you are venturing on the motorways towards the ports :-|
They are getting ready to separate lorries from cars over the coming weekends for Operation Brock :-|

Morning Fly, Island, Von & Gwyn <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D :-D

It's spitting here and not overly warm :-(

Flick....wasn't that the name of someone in Pans People back in the day :-D

Operation Brock, Gwyn :-S

Flick Colby was the choreographer of Lega and Co Belle, possibly Pans People before that. I think she died about 10 years ago. Now I've got to google because I need to know LOL

Afternoon Everyone. :-D <3

Still cant quite make up its mind today weatherwise. Quite pleasant, but a few spots of rain. :-|

I presume Operation Brock means a cull, Gwyn?

Yes Flick Colby was the choreographer for Pans People. Pretty blonde lady. :-)

A jackdaw has just flown up onto our chimney carrying a bone that it found on the lawn.
Wonder what plans it has :-S :-S ;-)

The sun has appeared :-D :-D :-D

Gwyn maybe mayhem and chaos will be the order of the day :-0 :-0

Pleased I don’t have to travel. :-)

Afternoon everyone :-)

Operation Brock supercedes Operation Stack.... both involve the M20 as a lorry park.

Operation Brock involves moving the concrete blocks stored at the edge of the motorway here and making separate lanes for cross-Channel freight.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckmzej8yvv3o

Happens most holidays or if the French are having some dispute, which disrupts Channel crossings.
It means that a long section of motorway is restricted to 50 mph.

Lorries can be parked /stacked for many miles to keep other traffic moving. I once counted over 400 as we passed them queuing.
I feel sorry for the drivers caught up in this.
