Sun was still shining so in the garden with a cold cider

Doesn't the cider make the bike smell?

I'm just looking at all those spacers above the cross bars! Are you competing with the Thorns?

Never got round to cutting the steerer and who are the thorns?

It's smells and tastes like a Somerset bike should

I stopped for a quick photo this morning with MY bike!

Ok my bike is just out of shot in the last (before the pedantic ones start moaning) but the pattern was lovely.

Like new again, washed it in the bath?

I bet @Spartak puts bike parts in the dishwasher too

Only when Mrs. Spartak is away on holiday !

Ok I saw the pattern of the logs earlier when we went out to repliensh our stock, so went back later though they had shut up shop by the so had to be through the fence.

Only one person does the stacking as the rest aren't up yo his standards! And the log store on the right is going down. The wood is sourced from the small plot of land it stands on mostly.

Just out of interest, what bike is that, Summerdays ?

It's a Giant Escape, but about 5 years old, they don't seem to do them with hydraulic disks anymore, and I did get as far as asking about a new bike at my LBS (he only stocks Giant, Dawes and Claude Butler) but the ones that would be vaguely similar are in grey and I want something with a bit more colour next time!

I like your bike, it looks like a proper/real* cyclists bike.

Yes, my bike is black and my next bike will be more colourful hopefully !

'serious cyclist' was the Bonjism you're thinking of

My entry to the pattern theme. Pattern is obviously the bars in the railing, or the ripple of the wind on the canal, or the shape of the trees, but what is going to ensure victory, is if you look closely, just above the crossbar and between the second and third bars from the left, that grey splodge is honestly a heron.

Piccy taken on my phone and I don't know how to use it properly so couldn't get it zoomed in on the heron
