We bought a pair last Saturday but they hurt her feet so will change them or upgrade for a different design.A pair of slippers for your wife ??? Not much of a deal imo.........why dont you stick out for 2 pairs of slippers and a decent pair of shoes
Back from town. We are fortunate in that the covered bus stop is just a few hundred yards away, it takes us right into the main shopping centre....and we have bus passes.
We decided not to eat at the Tapas bar as we ate out on Wednesday and Saturday. Instead we are having fish Monday as in pan fried cod, mushy peas with btead n butter.

BTW @Mo1959 .......I enjoy knowing where fellow CCrs live and then googling about the area. With my job I have visited most areas in the UK and it just gave me an interest in our diverse country. That is why I asked what your river was.
Mr Google tells me that its a salmon fishing river but the stocks became so poor that it became a 'catch & return' ie you are not allowed to keep any fish. That hurt the economy so they reversed the policy but so few fish were caught that they have had to do a 'U' turn. They didn't offer an explanation for the decline. Quite sad though (not for the fishermen, for the ecology).

Yes. I occasionally see and talk to anglers and it was catch and return last I spoke to them. Not sure what’s caused the decline. Quite a few heron about and we get the odd otter but I don’t think they would take that many. Wasn’t a lot of water in the river last couple of years over the fishing season either.

I got back a little while ago with 57 miles on, the Gongoozler's Rest canal boat cafe at Braunston Marina has just started up again after being renovated over the winter so I made that my destination today, a lovely ride out with a tail wind, Baginton, Long itchington, Broadwell, across Grandborough Fields, Sawbridge, Willoughby and a short blast down the A45 to braunston, great fun flying along with a tail wind. The ride back was a right old slog, retraced my wheel tracks until I was almost into Baginton then turned onto the Leamington road, rodee through Bubbenhall, Ryton, crossed the A45, I don't like that roundabout, Wolston and into Coventry through Binley Woods, down the Binley road then right into Hipswell Highway and home. it stayed dry for the ride, though it was grey and windy, a pleasant morning out in the end, though I was working hard on the way back.
Just reading that they are Atlantic salmon and a lot of the problem is actually out in the Atlantic. Hard to believe but they also blame lack of rain leading to low river levels.

Tough old ride today with weather alternating between very windy, cold and wet. Still another 61 miles in the bag. Only 14.5avg though. Damn wind.
Heard during the ride Chorley has two cases of Coronavirus. We aren't in lockdown and have been allowed back in.
I don't want to upset @Dave7 but if anyone else is thinking of doing a PoA it can be done online on the .gov website. £85 all in. Takes around 15-20 minutes.
