You obviously haven’t read Tinbergen’s classic “The Herring Gull’s World”. Highly recommended.

And here I always thought a seagull was a seagull.

Always enjoyable to see what you two are up to. Thanks for the stories.

Good to see you get to that unfinished business in Mallorca.

Beautiful sky. Out of all the cool stuff to see when we rode there in June, Tilikum Crossing was the most memorable. Such an elegant structure.

Thanks for joining us again, Bob. We’re really looking forward to Spain too. We’re both anxious to get back on the road.

Looks like a nice plan! Lot's of variety!

Thanks for yet another great journal. I’ll be looking forward to Spain (virtually).

Elegant-
tarweed-

Oxymoronish?

I don’t know, but I got one in a small town in Portugal four years ago. Cheap, and an acceptable quality.

Like the beer, like the Full English (minus the beans, minus the blood pudding). It should be great. And yes, the plan is to visit Lincoln this time.

It seems like you miss English beer, and the route looks to be going through Lincoln - my home town. I'm now thinking of flying over next year. We'll see.

Thanks! It certainly looks like it. I’ll have to go out for a second look sometime. I see that one of its common names is elegant tarweed.

Nice grand finale!

Found a good image match! Common madia. New to me too.
