Morning.
It is bright sunshine here this morning . I'm still a bit sleepy .

Glad you enjoyed our lanes! Blisworth and Stoke Bruerne can get very busy at the weekends and holiday times bdue to the canal stuff, but it's nice and quiet early in the day.

The roads were weirdly empty yesterday. I know early Sunday is normally pretty quiet, but I barely saw a car till 10am and even then only a handful. Almost as if we were back in the original lockdown!

Stoke Bruerne was a lovely spot, wish the cafe I spotted on the canal had been open, that would have been a beautiful cake and coffee stop. Keen to explore Salcey Forest more too.

West, I think. South of Huddersfield and East of Holmfirth.

Whilst you're there you can pick up a nice Denby Dale pie

We found the roads very busy on the way up to Yorkshire yesterday. We set off at 10.
Saw loads of old airliners parked up at Kemble . On the way back home we will stop off and have a look at them .
I saw a load of Lotus cars heading South, I wonder if there was a meeting somewhere ?

Is it one of those Guiness Book of Records ones ?

They make a nice meat-and-potato pie and held a pie show a few years ago. And yes, it's held the record for a big pie: https://www.thespruceeats.com/famous-denby-dale-pie-from-yorkshire-4122410

The Boat Inn, Stoke Bruerne, does a lovely ice cream, too!
Salcey is a 7 mile ish circuit with a few trails off it and is fine on a CX or MTB. Sadly, due to neglect, The Woodland Treetop walkway is closed. Some mates and I did ride it one night (naughty naughty ) I'll dig the video out later. Salcey café does good ice cream as well

Yawn ! I've found that stripping wallpaper to be more exciting !

"The car's on the track go round and round!"

I'm going to the Banger Racing on Saturday.. That's more fun

We will expect pictures, so don't forget your camera.

I'll have a wander up later, I was going to finish a burial today but its raining and will rain for most of the day.

 

[randynewmanscat]

Low bidders remorse?

 

[Illaveago]

Just typical!
The buyer of some brake levers lives in Sheffield!
If I had known I could have brought them with me !

There is a yellow thing in the sky, and the sky isn't leaking - what's going on ?

Give them time, pluck the weeds and give them time. All* good things come to them that waits.
* This is patently untrue but it serves the cause of optimism which is a daily requirement.

I'm more pessimistic l suppose because l thought the quote was "Everything comes to those that wait" ...so l guess that includes a good deal of what you would rather didn't arrived on your doorstep

Was there a single on-track overtake in the Monaco race yesterday? From the Sky Sports live updates it sounded like a procession - worse than normal. Maybe it's time to drop Monaco from the F1 schedule?
