I think that's fairly accurate for us in the south east. My brother treated me to a DNA test last year, and I'm 20% German...

As for sanitising. Seeing as I don't go shopping, my bit is to go round the house daily with my diluted Dettol spray and spray anything that is touched, door handles, light switches etc. Mrs GM wears a mask and gloves when she goes shopping.....and my favourite soap is Pears!

I remember when I was a kid we thought anyone who had Pears soap in the house was dead posh.

Given where the Angles, Jutes and Saxons came from, surely it’s a given that there will be a large part Germanic in those of us from what used to be Northumbria down to what used to be Wessex ?

Well I haven't really enjoyed today. Sleeping for 24 hours would have worked. Had a decent two hour ride with a friend and I wouldn't have gone out if I hadn't committed - the advantage of riding with other people. Fixed the guttering, that was easier than expected.

Other than that I've done bugger all and haven't wanted to........there are days when this lockdown business is very difficult.

Tomorrow though we are riding to Chipping. I'll tell you a silly story about Chipping in the morning...........

Why not chipping in the night?

95% of the time I am perfectly happy riding on my own and probably prefer it, but have to admit these days when I struggle for motivation having someone else waiting on you to go out would certainly help. There's a few other riders around here that I know but most are younger and faster and I have no desire to kill myself trying to keep up or feel like I was holding them up if they slowed their pace down to mine, plus the state of the roads these days I like to concentrate fully on where the wheels are going and not trying to chat to someone and not see one of the massive potholes in time! :laugh:
