Me too it has something about it. Reminds me of the neolithic round tombs near Carnac & Ireland.

Given how nice the day was we drove down to Languard Fort for a walk and an ice cream Perfect. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/11/20200711_115020.jpg) And of course the view of the docks was fun ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/11/IMG_1820.jpg)

Went to Trapp near Llandeilo to pick up a garden ornament. About 20 miles each way. Couple of miles on the end of the M4 then A, B, lanes to the farm. Great to be doing a few more miles and blow the cobwebs away.

Stripped the front hubs to check the bearings were set up & lubed correctly, so of course you have to follow it up with a test run ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/10/David-Mellors-3.jpg) Your car looks splendid Jon, where is that interesting looking building ? Yes, as others have already found it, it's the David Mellor cutlery works, it's circular as it was hard to get planning approval in the Peak District, so it's footprint is as per the old gas accumulator tank that was there Well worth a visit if you're in the area, you can have a tour of the works where they hand make some beautiful cutlery & bespoke commissions AND there's a great cafe too

GRRC Club run today, 106 miles through Hants and Sussex - the first decent run out in the 4/4 this year. It started and finished at the Goodwood motor circuit. We had lunch at Northington Grange, an uninhabited property maintained by English Heritage. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/11/04.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/11/05.md.jpg) Number One Son accompanied me as navigator and I let him drive the parade lap at the end of the day.
