Good morning everyone. Looks brighter here this morning - though I haven't been out the door to test it. No home-made bread this morning to put the Frank cooper's on Fruit 'n' fibre it is then. Now I've sat down without having a Yorkyshire brew - what am I like? Erm ... don't answer that.

Hope to be in the saddle before seven, but not sure I feel like doing more than ten this morning. We'll see.

I have half a home made loaf left i can spare a slice if you wish.
What bread do you make ?
By hand or machine ?
I usually make wholemeal with some white to help it rise. In a machine.
I must check out that Frank Cooper marmalade......I had never heard of it before this week.

Good morning people, its and warm this morning, car cleaning this morning, and I need to have a tidy up in the shed.

Oh you mean the trombonist? Can't remember for a minute - it'll come after my second cup of Yorkyshire I hope.

Oh 'Somebody Stole My Gal'

Did you know that BC was a successful racing driver too?

Good morning fellow retirees,

Another warm day promised. Quite a tiring day yesterday, this week's club challenge was 3k and I pushed quite hard. A quick change and then straight onto the turbo for a spin to the head of Loch Lomond.

I've got the makings of Barm Brack on the go, changed the recipe a bit and the fruit has been soaking overnight in a mixture of coconut ale and rum😁

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚲🚶🏃🌞

I had in mind "Greavsey" or similar.
I just googled it, It was Breezey.
Apparently BC was also a pilot and owned his own plane. Also a good footballer.
Died 1969.
Ahhh when TV was good!!

I bought a Panasonic bread machine. £150 for their top model seven or eight years ago. Might be the best thing I ever bought, Results are superb.

I variously make wholemeal, granary, fruit loaf, the occasional white. Oh and pizza bread, that's really good too. I wish I'd bought one before.

I recommend Frank Cooper's - a bit dearer than Golden Shred mind.

I don't remember it as Breezey, though I guess that must be right.

My brain keeps repeating Jimmy Greaves, but I'm sure that's not right.

Hold on ... it's coming I think ... Jimmy Edwards? The trombonist I mean.

Big brother is going fishing today and I have tried to talk him out of it as he is 85 and should be staying in, he has asked me to go along with him, one part of me says no, the other part says I should go to keep an eye on him, bit shaky on his feet and a riverbank is not a good combination. I am not keen on fishing but in the past I have put up with going for the reason I mentioned.

After @Dave7 's 'quiz' yesterday, look what popped into my YT feed this morning:
