Sounds like you had a ball..... nice one
But I have 2 questions/comments.
1. Your post started with "G'day all". Should that not be "G'day Cobbers"
2. Ningaloo??? How can we take you seriously when you tell porkies like that!! No place can be called Ningaloo

Could be an Australian lullaby.

Coach driver dropped us off at Beamish at ten and picked us at quarter to four, it rained up until half an hour before we left. But we had a good day, didn't manage to see it all though.

Morning chaps. It's been blowing a real hooley here all night. Coffee at the ready for me.

Good Morning Guys and Girls - damp, grey, drizzling. It's 8.15 so why isn't Paul on his bike you ask? Damp, grey, drizzling he says. Binned riding for today and meeting a good friend for coffee. Not only is he not on his bike he is still in bed drinking coffee, a novel experience for a Sunday.

I shall be ordering our beef rib joint for Christmas from the farm shop this morning. Only going to be five this year - the smallest for 30+ years, it's going to be a strange day. Plan is to buy small quantities of special treats. We are often 10+ on the day.

Great day for No.2 son's birthday topped off with a fabulous 4-2 win for the Rovers. We were truly excellent and Tom was delighted, which after the diabolical display on Wednesday we all deserved.

@Dave Beamish looks very interesting. I have been before many years ago but it was a shadow of today. I think we could plan a trip for the spring

Must be Christmas soon then?

Good morning folks. On the coach and on our way to York, from York we're on our way home.

We lived in York for four years. It's our spiritual home and the UK city I would live in. When I rode the Way of the Roses I was nackered on reaching York in early evening. I rode straight to the Minster and gave her a hug. Daft but that's how I feel about the place. Enjoy. A wonderful, wonderful city.

What is it with ladybirds this year?? We had literally hundreds in the garden this year and most seem to have moved in with us. I have one crawling round the edge of the laptop as I type and another sat on on the dongle for the wireless mouse!!! There may well be two or three in the shower when I get up.

Still I have always had a soft spot for ladybirds so it's fun.

We very rarely see ladybirds here.

Morning all. Out this morning for a whippet meet up, about 50 or so whippets running around at top speed having fun is a sight to see.

York is a great city, one of my brothers lives there, we go there a couple of times a year and have a great time.

Looking forward to my sunday roast.

Taking doggie onto the beach in a mo, then a stroll down to our local for a Sunday blowout.
