Sat in Wood's Bar in Dulverton at lunchtime. Couple came in and sat opposite us and ordered lunch. I was settling up at the bar - £18 - when they paid their bill - 2 x starters, 2 x mains and a bottle of wine - £95! 
They were from the London area, so I presume they thought it was reasonable.

J22 had a vehicle fire this morning.
Another last month, and in June.
Unlucky junction.

Yes, that was the location.
Good morning all fellow retirees.
A tad cool at the moment, with a bit of a breeze.
One of our cats is playing silly buggers and had spent the last two nights out, although I have seen her in the garden.
Out with the dog shortly and then a bimble on the bike.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning folks,
A lovely day yesterday, our granddaughter’s fourth birthday 🎂
Mum registered here for junior parkrun and today she will be running at Upton House accompanied by mum. We’ll be heading down there soon to cheer her on🏃♂️
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Well that was a rubbish night's sleep. Been awake since 4ish. I decided against a ride in favour of catching up on life's small, tedious but important chores.
@Tenkaykev at Friday's cafe I noticed two people arrive on Bromptons. In my experience seeing Brompton riders is quite unusual which I guess is because of where I live. I did meet one riding LeJog a couple of years ago.
I digress. This couple removed the luggage bags, folded the bikes and carried them inside. Would this be common among Brompton owners?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Wish I could find a tree! I've spotted a fallen oak in a field owned by a neighbour. I'm rather hoping he'll start cutting it up. He doesn't have a stove and gave me the last tree. Trouble is it's a long way from the allotment where I store logs. Can't get a vehicle to it so we are talking wheelbarrows!Morning. A dull day here. We are expecting more wood to be delivered today.

I've enough for next winter but 2022 could reach crisis point!!
It’s what we usually do Paul. When we cycled the Canal to Edinburgh we stopped for lunch at the Falkirk Wheel visitors centre which is quite spacious. The security guy stopped us as we wheeled our bikes in, I flipped the back wheel under ( the first step in the folding process) and he said carry on, so we didn’t have to fold them completely. When we have a meet up at a pub we always fold them and walk in carrying them. There were six of us in one cafe/bar and the bikes didn’t impinge on anyone’s space. They’re also a bit of a conversation starter.
