Good morning from a freezing middle of nowhere. We have quite a frost here but it should be a nice day later.

Good morning.

Glorious blue sky, bright sunshine and not a breath of wind. Lancashire la, la, la.............

Collected 12 bags of spent hops from the local brewery over the last couple of days. First job is to get those down as mulch.

Mrs P - sleeping like a baby now - was fidgeting, tossing and turning at 5.00am. I had to get up so may be napping by 12.00. Nackered already.

"La, La, La Land"! Thought the teletubbies lived there.

And was a frost not reported by someone, this morning. The 11th May?

I rest my case.

Lovely sunny day here.

Just got back from my ride, spot of lunch, then mowing the lawns.

Whereabouts in the Midlands?

Near Stourbridge .had a pleasant walk along the Canals with them in sunshine then a meal in a pub .

Return journey is always a drag but not helped by the M50 being shut then a slow diversion off the M4 near Newport.Increasingly I dislike driving .

I used to live in Stourbridge 1977 - 1983.
Bought our first house in Amblecote for £10000 - three bed semi.

Just got an 11 miler in. Sunny but a surprisingly strong and cold wind. Glad I put my Ron Hills and wind proof jacket on.
I had porridge before my ride and now jacket potatoes are baking. Tuna, mayo, onion and sweetcorn ready to go in. What a healthy boy I am

Bet its changed a bit since then. Road traffic is far too heavy for my liking. Getting onto the canal path was great ,like instantly being transported into the countryside.
