I've left my little corner of paradise for a while, but before I went I sneaked in a little 50-miler to catch this view. Again

Combe Laval today. Forget Alpe d'Huez & Mont Ventoux, come here instead. Insane and beautiful.

Just in case you're interested, here's the video of the short descent along the road.

Surprisingly no pictures of it on Geograph, but it's the cluster of buildings to the south of the blue circle

I first became aware of this building a couple of summers ago, after passing it on a Sunday ride with Wakefield Triathlon Club, but rarely get into the area

A Green Goddess, I had the mispleasure of having to drive one when the firemen went on strike in 2002/3. Seen today at the Haddenham Steam Fair

I found this amongst my Combe Laval photos. Sometimes stuff happens by chance that you only spot later...

Daughter
Passed
Today




We've already changed the insurance, to a new company
I need to cancel the preceding Policy (but I got home, after closing time)


Existing policy (May commencement) was in my name, with her as a named driver, for (circa) £580 F/C
To change, to her as passed/unsupervised, they wanted an extra £2,420 until renewal

Nothing swish, just a 1.4 hatchback

SWMBO did a bit of shopping around, & we've got it to £1,607 F/C, in her name (with me as named)
Black-boxed though (plug-in?, not hardwired)


When we first bought it for her, I tried my own insurers, that I have the Octavia with, & they quoted over £4,500!!
