Is that the stuff in the first picture, I don't think I'd recognize it if I saw it

It is.

I got back about two, I was out early and extended my ride over to Hatton Locks, 60 miles covered. Its been a little bit autumnal this morning, alternating sunshine and clouds, warm with the sun out and cool when it was cloudy, all with a cool breeze. I wasn't impressed with the truck driver on one of the narrow lanes, driving too fast and not slowing for anything, gave me an inch or two and I had taken to the verge, I also rode up behind a woman leading a large horse and wondered exactly who was in charge . another enjoyable morning out pedalling, I would just like it to be more like summer.

Sorry......you are not allowed to be squelchy......only Welshie can be squelshy

That can create some interesting thoughts

You should be pulling up that Himalayan Balsam as you are passing....it’s a pest! You wouldn’t get much of a conversation from the locals!

She cant speak Welsh

Just back from a 17 mile bimble. They still have a mile or so of the main road left to tarmac, so it was very bumpy..my poor derriere did not like it.one bit and neither did my bike. They are supposed to be finished tonight, but I can't see that happening.

Met a couple of locals out for a walk on my travels.

There were a few dark clouds around as well. View attachment 479141 View attachment 479142 View attachment 479143 View attachment 479144

Thought it would have been large enough to soften the ride

You need it for your part time job

Watch it you.

Is it that large it needs watching

But its perfectly formed

 

[Dave7]

At least the locals are on the right side of the road. No Hi-Vis though.

From that smile on his face the one on the right may be Mr WD.

Preparing to attack the garden. Gggrrrrrr...

My two tons of chuckies will probably come this afternoon. Hope I can catch the guy and ask him if he would slit the bags and just let them fall out. Save trying to get them out of the big bags myself. Presume it will just be a shovel and rake then to try and scatter them around. My poor back!

Chukies ???
Edit.....just read the other replies

Some of the women’s cycling teams arriving in the area for the 3 day Tour of Scotland.
