Good morning, I was awake at some God forsaken hour so you can all rest assured my world is returning to some sort of normality! Especially for @Tenkaykev the Chipping forecast is light grey cloud with some blue sky, still and 11C. Almost ideal cycling weather.
So Chipping? Well it's just a silly old fart's story but makes us smile every time. Chipping is a very nice village in the Ribble Valley. It has a cafe, the Cobbled Corner, and a recently opened farm shop which also does food. The cafe is frequented by many cyclists, some I know well and one you may be familiar with.
A couple of years ago the pensioners group was ambling round the Ribble Valley, an area we know like the back of our hand, only to discover some uncertainty about our location!! In other words lost! After some chat one of our number pipes up "Follow me, all roads lead to Chipping." Over an hour later we finally arrived in Chipping for coffee. Since then word has spread through the club and whenever there is doubt about which way to go, no matter where in we are in Lancashire, up will go the shout "All roads lead to Chipping."
There's a bit of this story that's based in fact. In the Ribble Valley we have many small lanes and it's not uncommon for them to be be signposted to Chipping. They're spread for miles around!!
At 9.00 I'm meeting a friend to ride. Guess where we are going!

That sounds like a bargain and an awful lot of shovelling.........Morning all
Off to pick up half a ton of golden flint chippings that someone doesn't want this morning. I need some to finish off the garden borders and he only wants £15 for it. Bargain!

Sounds like you went all round the Wrekin to get to Chipping, to use a phrase I remember from my West Midlands youth
Morning all fellow retirees.
A sunny start to the day.
Dog walking followed by a foraging trip on the bike for a few essentials at the local shops.
My mate up the road has just put the latest ale order in to Oakham's brewery, that should be here by Friday if not before.

Good morning all. I wasn't at my best yesterday, and weather was not quite as good as the forecast predicted, so was mostly idle. Did manage to get out for ten in the evening but it was a bit of a struggle for both Danni and I. A bit better today - well so far so good.
Today it's going to be dry in Rye, chilling'em in Gillingham, and if you're going to Hissing Down take an umbrella.

Well done Mo, looks beautiful where you are.
I'd forgotten all about that expression! There was another one that mentioned the Lickey Hills, not sure if it was " a face as long as the Lickey Hills"
Mo and Welshie......do not read this.
Funny and absolutely true story about that.
Like you we had no bathroom. Bog down the yard and a tin bath by the fire. One day/evening a friend of my mum (we called her aunty) was there. I guess I was about 7.
After my bath I was standing there naked and for whatever reason I got a hard on and found it funny......I was boasting by hanging the towel on it.
I have no idea why it happened but it is vivid in my mind.
Come on Classic.......you can interpret that.
BTW.....I can't seem to do it now
