November is showing off its colors in our area as we hit the peak this past week. Beautiful russet and gold adorns the view from our veranda. The colors are not as vivid as they have been in the past. Mainly this year was too dry in the late summer, and the winds picked up …

Spring Sunday Drive
The British Car Club drive for Saturday was postponed to Sunday due to rain, so we were able to have a nice sunny day for a drive in the mountains. We met at a parking lot in Brevard to get everyone together. It was a later start, so we could have some much needed social …
Apple Blossom Drive
Spring is coming along, and last weekend we had a lovely day for a drive with the car club. It was a bright and sunny day, and we met up at a local grocery store for the drive. Usually we meet a bit early so we can look at the cars, and enjoy some coffee …

Late April Sunday Drive

First Outing in the Little British Car
We got the TVR out on Saturday for a drive with friends. It is one of our favorite things to do, springtime in the mountains just has to be experienced. We really enjoy these drives, and we get to see some of our wonderful blooming trees. So, here we are at the parking lot, gathering …
