I like this. Funny, but sadly true these days with everyone with their heads stuck in their phones.

Off to Southwell near Nottingham today. Had a walk with granddaughter Chloe to the local park this morning, surprising to see a goat sanctuary in Kensington and Chelsea.

I love goats. Don't know what it is about them. They just seem to have great character.

On our trip to the Station we passed Mornington Crescent. I smiled when I saw that the pub on the corner was named the “ Lyttelton Arms “ 😎👍

Me too, apart from dogs, goats and ducks are my favourite animals.

Well - yesterday it happened - or very nearly
COming across the old bridge - very good seperate cycle path across the main bit which then merges onto a wide shared cycle path
I was riding along and I notice
a) a group of 2-3 walkers in front
b) a group of young lads on bike in front of them approaching

The front lad decided that - in spite of the walkers forcing him nearer to the kerb and hence the cars - that now was a good time to pull a wheelie
after all why not - there must have been at least 2 feet for him to go through
OK - he made it and missed the walkers and didn't drop off the kerb
so he was feeling good and kept on
at which point a Discovery came up behind me - and hence towards the lad doing the wheelie - and revved his engine - it was VERY loud (seem to be trendy round here at the moment) and startled the lad
who lost control of the wheelie, the front wheel dropped to the ground pointing slightly right and about 5 yards in front of me

I stopped FAST - he managed to stop about 1 inch away from me - no idea how he didn't fall off

no-one injured by pure luck

Then 10 minutes laster a duck decided to do a suicide dash in front of me on a canal path
nearly ran over its wing - just missed

after that the ride was calm - but Yea Gods

I suspect the disc brakes helped - but lets not start that one again eh!

That duck will be watching for you now, and it'll have its mates nearby ready to pounce.
