Got to start getting out earlier before the temps become too much. Still not too bad at the moment but it's only a few weeks before it'll be hitting high 30s virtually every day

Now known as Busy Bees
It was previously the 'Way West'

It's about half a mile south of Darrington, & on the south-bound carriageway, next to the BP garage

Originally built as the west lodge, or the Doric columned section was, onto the Great North Road, for Stapleton Hall
Now the Hall is gone, with a farm there (& a static caravan/retirement home site behind the café

Inside, it has 3 (almost) mint Raleigh Burner BMX's hanging on the walls
Heck!, one is so underused that it still has the 'moulding flashes' on the tyres!

How it used to look, when it was the gate-lodge

NB; Not really bike-accessible, I drove to it, with the intention of photographing it, for my 'GNR' albums on FaceBook

I photo bombed a lake district wedding photographers photo session the other week (but only just found the photo on line today)

A couple of images from yesterday. First up, my bike and a pint. Rode along the canal near fenny Stratford and stopped in to the plough at Simpson. Nice pint of Young's Hummingbird.

Second up, on my way back, chatting to a chap who was magnet fishing. I've seen that before but it was fun chatting with the guy and him telling me about the stuff he drags out. Here's a little selection.

All in all a nice way to spend an hour of a warm evening.
