That is so cool!!!!



That is really pretty.

I am having a go at one that is done from the inside out, It is weird but enjoyable at the same time.

That sounds interesting. Is there an online pattern with very good instructions.

One reason I like Attic24 is that she does brilliant instructions with pictures that even I can follow.

I am up.

The weather cannot decide whether it should be grey and glum or bright and sunny. That may have something to do with strong wind blowing the clouds about a bit fast.

It's cloud tennis. For weeks they've been heading south west and now the south west has had enough and is blowing them back. I'm hoping the NE doesn't have an answer.

It was hammering down when we woke, now the sky is cloudless blue and the roads are drying. Definitely a bike riding day.

Thought I would put a spot of air in the tyres this morn. Slime had done its job......until pressure was up at which point air gushing out of tyre. Quick pit stop, only to find my repair on spare was "poor". Trip to Halfords seems to be order of the day

O! Twitchers!

There's an old nest ( I think it's old) in the pyracantha bush with an egg in it.

There's a very colourful small bird that keeps flying to our front door near the bush I think it's a blue tit.

Does the egg belong to the bird?

Sat in the Darlington tea room Heart Of Shires with coffee and toast.

I got to the cafe to find the phone hadn't recorded my ride this morning, looks like it hadn't started when I tapped it to start it.

A fantastic 17 mile pootle to Watermead this morning. Such larks.

The thing is, with yesterday's ride and this morning's, Lu has topped @potsy's mileage for the year in just 22 hours.

I got in about a quarter past two having rode 65 miles at an average of 13.8mph, easy out hard home and almost as much climbing as last Sunday.

Nowhere near my huge yearly total yet but we'll done anyway

In your massive yearly total have you done 17 miles in one go?

Oh, and you may notice in the photo, I did it on a single speed too.

Lu drugged you up then....

Lu dragged you up then....

To be fair it's only about a 30 foot elevation change from the pub to the park.

Nice ride apart from 'North Bridge', I've seen a couple of people crack their heads by trying to cycle under that.
It's lovely around Belgrave Hall though you could almost forget you are in Leicester.

The photo was taken at the Mammoth, it's years since we've been to Watermead, they've certainly improved it. We will have to spend a morning walking round it soon.
