The weather has changed. It's distinctly cooler and there isn't so much as a scrap of blue in the sky.

Leaving Maidstone today and heading off to Reading.

Had my last CB Beef brisket sandwich and a pint of dry cider in Craft Brewed yesterday evening. I must get back in the habit of creating entries in the Lipstick Trail

I'm at Denbies Wine Estate i their cafe having a cheese scone and a pot of tea.

Had a moment's panic on the way when the Tesla charger I was heading for was suddenly temporarily closed. Luckily I had enough charge to get to the next one without any fuss.

But on the way the car reported that the left headlight has failed. It did this before but the message disappeared so I wondered if it was just some kind of glitch. Now I'd better get it looked at. I was going to schedule the service while I'm here in the cafe but the app demands that I provide photographs so I'll have to go out and do that after my tea.

@ninalanyon Always something goes wrong on a trip. I have a low beam that says it is not functioning but I. Stop to check it and it's working???

@ninalanyon Hmm, the first possible service date is nearly three weeks away at Heathrow. Not much use. I think I'll have to actually visit a service centre somewhere and ask if there is any other way. But regardless I'm not going anywhere near Heathrow in case they aren't able to fix it on the day and that would leave me with an expensive journey to Reading and back.

@turbineman40 I've just been out to the car to take pictures and the left headlight has definitely failed. :-(
But I've no intention of hanging about here for three weeks!

@ninalanyon I think I'm one of the youngest people in this cafe. There's hardly a person under sixty and most look like they are over seventy. Mind you it's hard to tell, Brits often look older at the same age than people do where I live.
