WE'RE BAAAAAACK!

Happy Monday, Patrons.
The drought is over! You're going to get inundated with stuff this week - starting today.
We've a new video that's currently uploading, and will be with you hopefully this morning. It's not the Canary Wharf one, as that's a bit of a monolith, and requires some extra editing. We really love this one though, and it feels like the perfect restart to the channel. It's a nice, light, topic - visiting the lowest land point in the UK - but swiftly spirals out of control.
Canary Wharf should be with you in the next couple of days though. Also! We filmed probably my favourite Patreon-exclusive car chat that we've ever done.
So, three videos! THREE! In one week! And we should be filming another next week. And you'll get a new BYAMPOD this week too.
Yet again, sorry for the hold up with everything. My mum was in and out of hospital over the past month, and it left no bandwidth for anything else. We're getting to get back to Digi Level 2 imminently, now we're hopefully in the swing of things again.
We've been up in Lincolnshire this weekend, helping my daughter juggle our two grandsons. Not literally.
On Friday we were staying in a place called Kirton In Lindsey. Lovely, quiet little village. We went for a walk in the evening, turned a corner, and boom - this massive thing was in someone's back garden:
I'm not sure the photo really does it justice. I mean, it's HUGE. Completely at odds with the rest of the village. Obviously, I had to look it up, and it turns out some guy built it in 2000 for amateur earth-moon-earth communications. Apparently, this works by bouncing radio signals off the moon.
It's a hell of a thing to see in person, and he must have some very understanding neighbours, as it really dominates, and doesn't exactly fit in with all the hanging baskets and British flags.
Anyway. Thought I'd share it with you.
Then on Saturday we were staying on a farm in Gainsborough (of my daughter's two toilets, one doesn't flush and the other doesn't have a door, as they're in the process of redecorating, so we opted not to stay there). This place won Channel 4's 'Four In A Bed' B&B competition last year. We watched the episode the night we were there, in the room featured in the show, which was surreal. The owners were great. Real characters, who confided in us that their resident turkey was "a bastard".
Feel free to suggest captions for this image:
Right. Video shortly!

If only you knew how many collars Tully has actually lost in his time... It would be frightfully crowded in there!

Happy Monday Mr Biffo and everyone! Seems you weren't THAT far away from me (says me who doesn't drive...) - l'm in Ely (a city only because of the cathedral... oh, but it does have a Nando's and Duckmonalds... ok and quite a lot of other things...). :) As for a caption, how about: "So, sheep lay eggs, yeah, and they come out of here?!"
