The owner of this big bulky BWM needs to tell everybody that he’s driving a BMW (the car license plate from Berlin is real, I just erased the number and added a BMW logo). In Germany, BMW drivers have the reputation of being posers.
Something this old Isetta from 1950s didn’t need. It was billed as a motor roller mobile and you didn’t need a car driving license for it. Even the police used Isettas. And it is a BWM, essentially.
harvest is close.



But for all that there is something much more important.
As summer fades, the Rugby World Cup begins:

We had a hot and dry spring, a summer with a wet spell and then hot again. I’ve been enjoying the hot weather tremendously, much more than in recent years for very personal reasons. The heat has come back last week and I took delight in the weather during the last week of my holidays. I took my bike out this afternoon and cycled down the road in the summer sun – when these guys stopped me short.
“Noooooo! Not yet!!”




The geese in the meadow are a stark reminder of summer’s end. These geese will be fattened up for another two months or three to be served either on as traditional goose at Martinmas or as Christmas dinner. Time waits for no one. Not for summer. Not for the geese. Not for me.
