I once bought a horse from the Blacksmith. The first thing the horse did in his new home was to make a bolt for the door.

I believe his still has that fork, but he has changed the handle, and the tines.

yep thats it.
the building has flood gates so if the river busts its banks
they can shut the gates, this involves a care taker coming out and closing them, then shoving them in to a slot with a modified car jack.
when i came home today we had a good 6" left on the bank of the river.
non of that softy southern river Thames barrier rubbish up here, we have Bill and an old car jack cos we are hard! and poor
good news the non lumpy jumper bit have sustained no permanent injury
and i will wear the mankiny again.

Well it wasn't worth spending a lot on flood defences. I heard last time that area was flooded many buildings were washed away or badly damaged and £13.50's worth of damage was caused.

ararararrrg we are cut off with flood water
there is a welly hight flood at the end of the road not a big problem in a car but on the trike it would come up to my chin.
taking the other road then going cross country, i would have to cross a stream that is now flowing over the bridge at a considerable speed.
send oat cakes, ginger beer and custard sandwiches to keep me going until the flood waters drop.

i managed to get across, some one got some pallets and strung them together and made a sort of pontoon bridge.
the wind was blowing down one of th big hills so i was doing over 30mph for the sharp left, even out riging the wind got under the lifted side and took me to the point of no return, my £5 boil in the bag rain back to front coat did a wonderful job of melting as i slid along the road, slowing me down and protecting me.
the crash bung on my wheel took all the damage the the rest of the trike is ok, i was not hurt, though did have a bit of a problem getting my bad leg out of the spd, as i cant twist it very well now.
the biggest climb of my rid up a back road that is a 3 mile long stream bed every time we have a bit of rain, i had one twit in a car behind me, ranting and tooting his horn and gesticulating for me to get out of the way.
i stopped turned around and asked him what he wanted? then pointed to the 4ft deep water filled ditch and asked where? he just had to steam for a bit until i cranked up the road a bit to a passing point.

today i went to see my bike 
the new sub frame had just arrived and was about to be installed.
she needs a servoectomy and a service, then it will be ready for mot/tax/dvla inspection then wait for the paper work to come through.
every thing that can be done to make it imposable for customization of bikes is being done, the process of sva is now almost imposable to get through.
simple dvla inspections are now almost as rigorous as the sva used to be.
now news that the driving license is being messed about with again, any one that passes there car test ofter the beginning of next year will have to pass a motorbike test to ride a trike! there are some very odd things in the new categorys and complicated.
mr plod will have fun trying to sort them out.
tomorrow
is the first day of the cycle to work thing, some of the long distance commuters are driving most of the way to work then riding the rest. i may go in on the hand bike, now there will be some riders on the road.

Has everyone been asleep since last Friday?I am sorry to have ab sconeded from this thread without a note in triplicate.
I am now in recovery from an orrible colb in the nobe, and a nafty coff, and saw froat, and acheses and pains. 
How is every one else? So far today I have managed to eat some pawridge, and had a bath, made two phone calls, and now I am watching four days in Dunkirk.
