Morning chaps, it has finally stopped raining here. Still quite misty though.

Good day one and all. A distinctly autumnal feel in the air this morning. Stove is lit and gently bringing downstairs up to temperature. I think the slight scent of warm pine helps as we are burning conifer for the moment.

Short hilly ride planned for 10.00 and then old friends are dropping in for lunch on their way south to home from the Lakes.

Late yesterday afternoon I made German plum cake. First time and it's delicious. I took it out of the oven 15 minutes before heading off to the pub. Got home at 10.00 to discover large slice already removed by Mrs P. I did have a piece as well

Good morning all. Program for today: haircut ( lower price for OAPs Monday to Friday), take dog for a walk and bike ride. Not necessarily in that order though.

Hitching up the caravan in a couple of hours time and heading down the Atlantic Highway to Cornwall. We stay at a lovely little CL site just outside Padstow. It has all the facilities we need - electric hook up, wc, showers and free WiFi - all for £15 a night.
We're there for a week, then move on to a site near Fowey for a week. Definitely feel like a break as we haven't been away for a month.

The bathroom is well under way, maybe a ride later, on second thoughts there will be a quick 60 minute blast later.

Morning all, once breakfast is finished it will be -- Dog to be walked, downstairs toilet to be painted and then meeting my son for a Burrito lunch and then maybe a pint or two.
It has stopped raining now though.

Morning all. Woke up at 5 o/c in a panic, something must have triggered my subconscious as I hadn't paid the Dartford bridge toll that we went over yesterday evening, all settled then back to sleep. Had some cracking window wins on eBay in the last couple of days, smashing prices too!

Quick update. Haircut done. My wife is taking Molly on the beach after lunch so I will combine the bike ride and the dog in one go ,that is, go for a ride and meet them on the beach as part of it. Sorted!

I expecting my new bedding today. My postman and other delivery drivers always leave my parcel in a large box that we set up just for post.
