ABC Towns and Villages

[Katherine]

I've became very aware this week that in Glasgow the area place name signs for parts of the city have almost all gone. Probably not replaced when new street lights have gone up.

Hopefully YOKER still has one.

Yes, similar case around Manchester.

Not so happy with the E.

Need to find a better one but I'll move on with the rest while I'm looking

Blummin cold this morning

Lovely winter sunshine today. Unusually this village sign has a blue background. On the Brompton today, a more leisurely lunchtime outing. Mind this one was not quite as far to ride to as recent efforts.

Today's ride was brought to you by the letter C.
And the offerings are the village of Clipston

and a memorial to the Carpetbaggers

Was going to bag B,C and D today but the C I visited didn't have a sign .

So headed back home.

Had a nice ride out in the wind and sun

I have a hard earned J coming up on Sunday. So hard I will need a pub stop afterwards to fuel the ride back home. No other letters to get on the ride as well! Good opportunity to meet a friend out that way mind.

Did have a plan to bag D, E and F tomorrow, with an outside possibility of a G too.

However, having seen the forecast that now seems very unlikely.

If you look at street view before you ride out. You may be able to see if the village has a sign.

Snow, fog and hacking cough is holding me back.

But once I get E. I will be on a roll to I. Then I may have to cross into Germany to find a place starting with I.

If that's the 'J ' I think you mean it's got a nudist beach there

No, not a coastal J. Bit nippy for a dippy.

I do use street view but the last time I passed through there was a sign. I could have gone to Cockernhoe and then on to the D but time was against me(had to get back for the horses).
