Barnet,
Morning all, just going out for a bike ride around Perth to see the new stadium taking over from the WACA, and then along the banks of the river Swan.
A bit cool today, it is only 13 degrees, feels cold after the 32 degrees and the humidity of northern Queensland.

Good Morning fellow non-workers. Light grey here and looks promising.

It hasn't been a good weekend at chez Paul. Lost my wedding ring on Saturday. When my fingers get cold the ring becomes loose so when I'm cycling I wrap a plaster round it. Saturday afternoon and early evening I was wearing gloves and at some point I've taken the glove off and my ring has come off unnoticed at the same time. Sunday morning found me walking slowly up and down the pavement in a suspicious manner by the ATM I used Saturday night! So be it.

This morning a few of us are joining Sergeant Malcolm Bell on the first miles of a charity ride. Malcolm is riding from a local village school to Dartmoor Cemetery Becordel-Becourt, France. He will be carrying a wreath to lay on the grave of Private James Miller VC. The wreath is made of poppies which have been individually made by the children before being woven in to the final wreath. Sergeant Bell will be presented with the wreath by a pupil who is a direct descendent of James Miller.

Miller lived about a mile from my house, went to school three miles away and worked in our village mill, the reason our village exists. If you are interested to read more I've uploaded a brief history.

A good night on the Wirral last night. Good to see so many people (many 1000s) and all the bars and eateries doing well out of it. New Brighton is definitely on the up.
An amazing fireworks display from the fort (Fort Perch Rock).
And we enjoyed a good tapas meal.
Up early and will be setting off home on 45 minutes.
