They do a good job. Whereabouts are they grown?

I can't be 100% sure they were grown by Lovania but it's highly likely. Their nurseries are based around the Tarleton area of the Lancashire mosses - probably best to Google it and check in maps.

I'm having the same problem with mine as well, its a shame we only get one.

Why dont you just iron it ?

The expected downpour didnt arrive. It was very humid at one stage. We now have a breeze and some hazy sun.

Let's hope we miss the worst of it.

Well, my wedding suit still fitted after 40 years - so I'm not expecting a problem.

The only thing I have from my wedding is my tackle and distant memoires

More than I can say for my birthday suit, which is looking distinctly baggy in some areas!

My birthday suit is still in good condition after 68 years and have the photos to prove it.

Morning peeps. We had a lot of rain last night.

Thats normal for you and probably a load more to follow. You will never suffer a drought

New bike. . View attachment 472369

Nice bike @Mo1959
Value wise Ribble and Dolan seem to do very good bikes for a good price

. Phew. It's so humid and misty here.

Got any cooler yet?

Hope they still fit when summer arrives in 5 years time!

It won't in the case of Welsh Dragon

Got any cooler yet?

It is finally cooling down here

It is finally cooling down here

It's slightly cooler here, but the clouds are gathering for tonights rain and thunder storms. Earlier this afternoon, I was in the shed undoing a couple of screws to take a pair of old brake levers off of a set of handlebars. The amount of sweat I was producing made my shirt look like I had been out in a shower of rain.

I was doing some stuff here and getting really uncomfortable as well.

I've changed the tube this afternoon, I haven't found the cause though, its difficult to get enough pressure in the tube to show up something that might only be leaking at high pressure.

Not bothered dunking it in water?
I don't bother trying to patch tubes any more, I just throw them now. I dont bother with the more expensive brands nowadays, just buy the cheap lifeline ones from Wiggle.
