Pageant of Transport #50places2026

The Easter weekend saw a range of cars drop into Weston-super-Mare for the annual Pageant of Transport.

I did wonder if I should have shown off the Funky Cat. They did have some quite new cars there, and it did appear that you only needed to pay for a ticket and then you could display your car. I am guessing that if I was in an Ora Funky Car club of some kind, we could have planned to showcase a range of Funky Cats. One reason I was hesitant, well there was a few reasons, but one key reason was that the Funky Cat is an electric vehicle and virtually all the other cars at the Pageant had internal combustion engines. There is still some weird unfounded negativity towards electric cars, which I don’t quite understand. Another reason was that I would have had to park up all day at the Pageant and wasn’t sure I wanted to do that on my own.

Grand Pier #365photos2026

Grand Pier

This was the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare taken from the beach. The tide was in so (for once) the pier was in the water.

This year I am doing my photograph a day thing again. Every day during 2026 I am aiming to take a photograph and post it to Instagram and this blog.

I have done a photo a day before in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022 and 2024. I did try in 2018 but I had a few technical issues so stopped after a few weeks.
