Anyone else do afternoon naps??Back to the caravan now for an afternoon executive power nap.
I always think that if I crash out now i wont get to sleep tonight.
Right now (apart from watching the football) I could cheerfully curl up and drift off but doubt I will try it.

Recap of the day so far: wind, rain, sunshine and more rain now. In other word, rotten weather for a ride so took the dog out twice on the beach, between showers, a bit of shopping in Morrison as my wife is not feeling well, she was shaking with cold last night but better now. At present, watching TV and that's the way it is going to be till bed time. Boring really. Ride tomorrow?
My day has not been too exciting. I went out on the bike for an hour or so, and had a list of stuff to get from Sainsburys. Did that and got home with a few cans of London Pride. Now sitting watching the play off final at Wembley. A lazyish day.

The cafe was posh and pricey, but their bacon ciabata's were very tasty, we had an interesting couple of hours wandering round the barn antiques, then called in at the Touchdown cafe at Wellesbourne airfield on the way back for a cuppa.

Well at least you can have full confidence that he will be paying for your lunch
True, he did. A very good pub lunch at The Metropolitan in Didsbury. Two excellent pints of session IPA.
The new young lady seems very nice and lots of fun.
Ages ago. An hour is plenty to recharge my batteries.Woke up yet?

Yes one of your cycling destinations.
If I've been that way it would be the garden centre at Charlcote or the cafe in the high street in Wellsbourne

Yes I use both of them, I used to use the one at Kineton when it was open. The original cafe at the Barn Antiques was run by the ladies that ran the cafe at Wellesbourne airfield, the one in the portacabin that preceded the present Touchdown Cafe, the last cafe at the Barn Antiques was posh but reasonably priced, we hadn't used the current one before, now we have we'll save it for special occasions.

I suppose if the cafe is at an antiques place the prices will probably be higher.
Personally prefer the cheaper cheerful greasy spoon type places.
Coffee and a bacon sarnie and a fair bit of change from a fiver.
The posh places you get a bit of change from a tenner

I have a tendency to crash out after tea, I try not too but I'll be sat there with the paper with the early evening news on the telly and suddenly I have an attack of the lead eyelids and I've gone. Trouble with that is I can't sleep when I get to bed.

We didn't get much change out of fifeteen quid! Yes I like the greasy spoons, but they can be a bit thin on the ground, a favourite is the cafe at Willoughby on the A45, but nearby is the cafe on a canal boat at Braunston Marina, again on the A45, and nice because it's unusual.
