[Gravity Aided]

We had strawberries growing wild near the sandbox at or old house, but I never saw any fruit. Our retriever had a sweet tooth, and would turn over the leaves, looking for ripe strawberries, and eating them at the peak of perfection. Mrs. GA thought it was the funniest thing. I didn't mind, that dog was the best watchdog, child minder, and rail enthusiast I've ever seen. And she hunted well also.

Morning campers.

After long deliberation over Earl Grey on the poop deck i am finally ready to announce the winner.

The competion was strong and it was not easy as i liked them all. You all captured summer cycling really well.
@djb1971 ,@SatNavSaysStraightOn and @coffeejo your skills with a camera are fantastic.

@Katherine and @Mandragora the pictures with the children were lovely and great to see their excited faces on their bikes.

@Supersuperleeds you had it nailed for me with your traditional english bowls match even @potsy and @User14044 managed to pull it out of the bag in the end but my overall choice was ........

Finally moving out of port and the boat is heaving with people. Thank goodness we booked a cabin to get some peace.

Captain reckons he can make up most of the time lost so far. We are booked to stay in Delft tonight, may get there by midnight

Hilly, that tenner was for you to pick anyone but me!

Many thanks though your judgement has obviously been clouded by all the beer.

Um. What's next? I'll have to think about it. As you were.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Congrats @coffeejo

so what's the next one? I have a ride planned for tomorrow and I may need to get my thinking cap on!

 

[coffeejo]

Right then. I'll give you all a couple of weekends and close this one on 19 July, which happens to be a friend's 50th. She definitely likes her beverages and cakes so it ties in nicely, as the theme is Refreshments. Food or drink, bought or home-made, in a shop or al fresco, during or after the ride. Make it as arty as possible and the photo must include something to do with cycling. (Anyone who doesn't want to win is more than welcome to come here and clean my bikes.)

Here's my winning entry
