 trip and a visit to Petersham Nurseries. I have fallen in love with Richmond so much! The whole place was so pretty and coupled with the Christmas decorations made us feel so festive. Petersham Nurseries is a cute little garden centre just a short walk from Richmond town centre and again contributed massively to the festive feeling. We warmed ourselves up with spiced lentil soup and hot drinks before delving into three of the most decadent cakes I have ever tried. An absolutely perfect start to the festive season.
There was clearly a lot of food consumed on this trip!
Some of the best cakes I have ever had!On, or next to the water, in Mid TN, where is it?

You could give Bledsoe creek SP a try. Its next to old hickory lake and there are quite a few sites next to the water. There are several old but clean bath houses, a total of 3 to 4 miles of hiking trails. The downside is no swimming or fishing in certain areas, and no alcohol. Actually the no boose rule is good, as i suspect its mainly there to keep the loud partiers at bay. Be discreet, and you will have no problem. I think all the sites have water and at least 30 amp service. The hosts are all wonderful people and you can buy ice and usually firewood thru them. Many of the sites are wooded as well. Some are pull thru and others back in. I have a 17' 'TT and can back it in no problem. Sites tend to fill up early. I just grabbed the next to the last site available for labor day weekend. Sites cost $20 for a back in and $25 for a pull thru.
Bledsoe Creek SP is a good choice. Most sites are on the water.
Dale Hollow Lake is the cleanest and clearest lake around. There are many campgrounds around the lake. Sunset Marina area is nice with a lakeside campground. As its namesake implies the sunset on the lake is awesome.
Piney Campground,dover,TN is a good family choice. Very active campground. reserve early to get a lakeside site.NFDA director Sue Robinson said it is “vital that UK retail motor industry is recognised by the Government alongside manufacturers in the post Brexit negotiations” following a meeting with MPs at the House of Commons.
Representatives from seven top AM100 dealer groups attended yesterday’s meeting which was attended by members of the House of Lords, shadow ministers and MPs.
The meeting came two months after UK manufacturer bosses met with Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, David Davis, and DFT and BEIS ministers at an SMMT round table discussion to discuss their concerns following the vote to leave the EU.
In a statement issued after yesterday’s meeting the NFDA pointed out that of the 800,000 people employed by the UK automotive industry, 504,000 work in the retail sector.
Robinson said: “The key contribution of the retail motor sector to the UK economy was the theme of the dinner held yesterday at the House of Commons.
“With over 500,000 people employed in the sector and a combined turnover of £61.3bn across the top 200 franchised dealers, it is vital that UK retail motor industry is recognised by the Government alongside manufacturers in the post Brexit negotiations.”
The NFDA did not reveal detail about the discussions at yesterday’s meeting which was attended by Arnold Clark chief executive Eddie Hawthorne; Cambria Automobiles chief executive Mark Lavery; Perrys Motor Sales chairman, Ken Savage; Lookers chief executive, Andy Bruce; Trident Honda chief executive, Richard Roberts; Marshall Motor Holdings chief executive, Daksh Gupta; and Simon Caffyn, chief executive of Caffyns.
But Robinson said:."
The full list of Lords, MPs and shadow ministers that attended this week’s NFDA meeting were: Richard Burden MP, sponsor and Shadow Minister (Transport); Lord Rosser, Shadow Spokesperson (Transport); Lord Sherbourne of Didsbury, Statutory Instruments (Joint Committee); Kate Green OBE MP (Labour), European Scrutiny Committee; Philip Davies MP (Conservative), Vice Chair, Retail; Robert Flello MP (Labour), Transport Committee; and Daniel Zeichner MP (Labour), Shadow Minister (Transport) and Vice Chair, UK-EU Relations.

Not quite, but almost. A hike along the yellow-dot route through Skovbjerg almost brings you back to the forests of the past. Skovbjerg has never been subject to cultivation. It contains old oak forest which grew on top of the original oak underwood. Today, the forest is managed as natural forest for the benefit of hole-nesting birds, insects and fungi.
There is a memorial stone in Skovbjerg, which reveals some of the story behind the conservation of Mols Bjerge as a valuable natural asset. The A.P.Møller and Chastine McKinney Foundation sold the Skovbjerg lands to the Danish state in 1971. The Foundation’s purchase and later sale of the area to the state saved it from being developed. The Danish state subsequently purchased and listed more land. Today, large parts of Mols Bjerge are state-owned and subject to protection.A BIG thank-you and congratulations to Buckeye Trail Board Member Randall Roberts (@RandallDRoberts) for successfully organizing over 50 hikers and bikers in collectively completing the "Little Loop" section of the Buckeye Trail in one day! I really like the event's tagline -- "Together We Hiked It All" -- since it conveys how people come together to reach a larger goal.
Like other events this year, the Little Loop Challenge was done social-distancing-style, with the bikers and hikers encouraged not to travel with non-family members. Also, the traditional BBQ dinner gathering at the end of the day was canceled. It still felt good to know that I was one of many participating in this one-day challenge.
Northeast Ohio has a special advantage of having a 250 mile “Little Loop” of the Buckeye Trail. This presentation will give a brief history and evolution of Ohio's scenic hiking trail and a pictorial presentation of the sections that make up the “Little Loop”. Come take a virtual tour around the "Little Loop" and learn about the Little Loop Challenge - a collective effort to hike the entire Little Loop in one day!
My wife, Julie, and I had attended a Little Loop Presentation on February 10, 2019, led by Randall Roberts, where we learned not only about The Little Loop Challenge, but also some very interesting history of the Buckeye Trail. I highly recommend Randall Roberts's Buckeye Trail talk, since it gave us a new perspective of the what it took to make this long trail a reality, and of the diversity of the trail. The maps in the presentation were very interesting, and enticed me to want to explore other parts of our state.
Amazing history of @HikeTheBT’s #BuckeyeTrail, @american_trail and @nctrail at GREAT talk.
Check out special events on the #BuckeyeTrail happening in 2019.

The @CrookedRiverBTA members think this is a hawk nest in the tree. #Hiking near the @HikeTheBT’s #BuckeyeTrail in the @ohiodnr Mantua Bog State #Nature Preserve with @CrookedRiverBTA winter #hike.
Huge #eagle nest!!
After a fun hike on the Buckeye Trail with @CrookedRiverBTA at @BreakawayExcurs, we have lunch in the “Trail Town” of #Mantua, #Ohio.
We saw an eagle while driving in the area near Mantua, Ohio after our hike with @HikeTheBT @CrookedRiverBTA members.
Fun way to spend the day.
How do you get 70-100 hikers on the trail and still social distance? Spread them out over 250 miles. Once again we will attempt to hike the entire 250+ mile "Little Loop" of the Buckeye Trail in one day! That's right! We will do it collectively. We've divided the Little Loop into 77 segments ranging from 1/2 mile to 6.5 miles.
Due to restrictions, there won't be a BBQ dinner this year or packet pickup. But participation is FREE. I have 50 patches left from previous years and will send these out if we are successful to the first 50 who register with a priority given to first time participants.
Order now to get yours in time to wear on the day of the challenge.
Starting in November 2018, I started
