We are craving a roast mate, that one would do perfectly....oh and a cup of tea and some biscuits! Lol

Ate in Cattlemens, Taylor Sheridans place that's used in Landman yesterday... 40oz tomahawk... and rhe biggest stack of onion rings ive ever scene...lol

Was that called Fearless mate? I watched it a while back, brilliant little series... shows the Brazilian rodeo on it, biggest in the world 90 odd thousand people turn up for it!

He's got a cracking moustache now! Lol

The Rodeo last night Rodeo after party..

The bull riding was madness

Texas! Wow what a place, was supposed to be in Fort Worth fir 2 nights, we've just booked again for a 4th night... we love this town, been ti the bull riding in the original Fort Worth Coliseum, went to the Rodeo in Duckies Arena last night, the town is full of Cowboys as its the first weekend of the Rodeo.. went for Dinner in a hotel that is used in Landman, both as a set abd for the cast to stay, we were told it was casual dining for a steak dinner...um not quite, cowboys and girls dressed in their finest, it was like walking into another world, we were in jeans and trainers lol... as always

Stayed in South Louisana last night, cajun country, beautiful place. Managed to have a little fish this morning as we stayed in a cabin on a small lake, lost a fish which jumped and shook the hook, looked like a large mouth bass to me.. This was lake Martin last night at sunset, proper swamp country, 1200 alligators in this lake reportedly.. Got a bit more twitching in lol Spoonbill Great egret (I think) A bird called a limpkin, watched it catch a crawfish A cooper hawk, speaking to a c

Well plans changed slightly, we stayed in Alabama and drove down to the gulf coast, stayed a night in Birmingham and spent some time in the civil rights museum, interesting place abd we were the only people in there, was a bit eerie tbh, in fact Birmingham was very quiet for a big city.. headed down to Bayou le Batre, was where Forest Gump on the shrimping boat was filmed, Waylon said it was the only place in Alabama any filming for the film was done, was exactly how we expected it to be, beautiful..but was disappointed with the seafood, shrimps weren't good and gumbo was OK... to be honest o

Was randomly listening to a radio show here as we were driving yesterday, it was a Christian station based in Memphis, was pretty funny to us as there views were,in our world, extreme abd they weren't afraid to say it. There were 4 presenters in a talk type show, obviously very pro Trump and pro the clamp down on illegal immigration.. all of them said the woman put herself in the situation and if she had acted accordingly to the law would still be alive, ie. Turn off rhe vehicle and obey command... im not condoning the killing of someone, as in our world that is extreme, but a lot if people ha

Got to say, you'd love some of the country our here mate, i know from our yaps that you'd love it. .huge, unspoilt land, with rivers and lakes that run clean ... plus proper people .. even down to the old couple yesterday who waited for us in each hide so we could use their binoculars, we yapped for nearly an hour in the end ..they loved we were Brits, i loved they were genuine

Thanks for the advice mate, we'll hopefully have enough time at the end of the trip to spend a bit of time there. Like i say, Alabama has slowed our progress, in a good way

He certainly is mate. Ill keep chucking pictures up as we go, hopefully be of interest to most of you.. Heading to Tupelo, Mississipi today, birthplace of Elvis, undecided on whether to carry on down into Mississipi or head back into Alabama, as we have loved this state... We're booking places to kip day to day so it is completely on the hop, a bit of google maps to get a plan, checkout interesting routes et. Then head off...its served us well so far

Do you need a hand carrying the kit mate? Lol Sounds ideal that, good luck
