Hello!

It's not raining!!!!!!!

Get up. Bike 5 miles to feed son's cat. Bike home. Feed neighbour's cat. Feed neighbour's chickens. Take in post for two neighbours. Repeat twice daily morning and evening for a week.

The lesson here is to go on holiday at the same time as everyone else.

You get post twice a day!

Whereabouts in the West Country?
We've got a posh wedding to go to in the Cotswolds at the end of August.

Not that far west, Wiltshire near the Cotswolds. Half way there at the moment!

Just returned from a ride to Barnstaple and back in time to see the D Day celebration fly in on the beach. The planes come in directly over the top of our bungalow, so we'll have a ringside seat.

@172traindriver . We did that walk. Very pleasant although it got HOT towards the end

We found"wiggos place'. Its called Tolos. We stopped off for a cool beer. Sadly there was a group of cyclists there determined to give us all a bad name by seeing which of them could (false) laugh and swear the loudest.

No manners. There's one of them sat at the table still wearing his headwear.

Rain has stopped play - three times now. Given up in the garden. Had a shower.

Mrs P and I are going to play Canasta.

Drop an "r", and that's a 4 point word minmum.
