I've been to Edinburgh sort of twice in the 60's and been past a sign pointing to Hinkley !
Wonders will never cease!

There's not a lot in Hinkley, and their market is a pale shadow of its former self. Interestingly neither me or my Good Lady have been to Edinburgh but our sons have been there.

I was just reading another thread about cycling old historic routes and it reminded me of the time I rode a section of the Fosse Way with my brother. I was fine at the time riding a mountain bike without suspension .
But boy ! Did I pay for it over the next couple of weeks! I could hardly move my right arm ! It must have been Tennis elbow !

Much excitement in the Ingermany household this morning: Beautiful Daughter has new socks.

I have to go to church this morning to watch my daughter in the Remembrance parade (Brownies). I am not a church / religious person in any way, shape or form. It involves sitting through a 1.5-HOUR service before the parade. I'm wondering if I can take a book with me. The church service is optional, but I know my daughter will be checking I'm there every five minutes (and watching her) so I can't sneak away and sneak back for the parade. It's a dichotomy - very-proud-father-supporting-his-daughter vs. no-wish-to-be-preached-to. Daughter wins every time. 
The things we do for our kids.
I'm also missing out on my Sunday morning ride.

If it's any consolation, my dad was a minister and he loathed Remembrance Sunday services too.

I loved new socks when I was little, although I was mostly wearing woollen tights that weren't quite long enough at this time of year.

My Dad was in the combat infantry in WWII and disliked Veterans' Day Services as well. I go to the early service (Anglican/Episcopalian) and I'm out in 45 minutes or so.
