First ride since doing nothing on my hols except eat and drink.Initially it felt like i had nether ridden a bike before and i got cramp halfway through but felt better as the ride went on.
Anyway managed 34 miles so not too bad.

We have our very own Peter Rabbit on the allotment - bastard.

Not only am I having to tackle the flying black bastards I’m now dealing with the furry brown four legged ones.

Currently it’s flying black bastards 1 - 0 Paul. My netting on the gooseberries will soon sort that out.

I have an orchard with cherry trees, cooking apples, eating apples, goosberry bushes, raspberry bushes, blackcurrant bushes. The bloody birds have a field day eating everything.

We got back from Stratford On Avon about an hour ago, the place was heaving. Some of the pedestrian bridges across the river had come to a stop, too many people on them. As we were leaving we could see the cars queueing to get in the town, they were queueing right up onto the A46, we used the park and ride, a quid to park the car and we used our bus passes. Now chilling in the back garden with my tablet and the paper.

We've been to York today. Top tip for visiting York is to be somewhere else away from the city centre after about 1500 on Saturdays.

Large groups of the rowdier hen/stag parties start to appear and there is a definite shift in the atmosphere. Saw the street wardens literally running from one incident to the next. Not pleasant.

Good day was had, but there's a definite time to go.

Morning all, the back is feeling slightly easier this morning, in fact I have not had to reach for the painkillers yet, hopefully a good sign that things are on the mend.

Good morning folks. Another beauiful day is in store for us. I hope you don't get caught in the downpours.

Currently laying in sitting up in bed looking out across the fields, and eating freshly made scones for brekkie.

We could do with a few showers here, our garden is parched and our rainwater butt is empty.

You've officially now achieved Nirvana...

Just started raining very lightly here. None of the forecasts mentioned it for this time of the day - they were all saying that it might rain after lunchtime.
I give up on them!

Having a few internet problems on this caravan site and my phone signal is a bit flakey. Frustrations of the modern world, eh? Never had those problems in the 1960s!

Don't feel good. I'm allergic to nuts and I think I've inadvertently had contact, or contact with someone who's eaten them. Hands and face slightly puffed, itching like crazy. I'm breathing ok though, so anti histamines and rest while Mrs D keeps an eye on me.
