This whole travel 'locally' thing needs defining properly.
I consider anywhere within a 50 mile radius 'local' ie. still within Devon.

Taken as meaning within the council area where you live.
Anywhere within the County border, the sea and borders with any areas outside of the North Devon area.

No travelling to Wales for a haircut for anyone from England :laugh:.

I can now use my discretion on how far I travel as I live in the middle of nowhere. Thank god. If I could only travel 5 miles, I would only be able to stand in a bloody field.

Those are beautiful flowers for sure, Dave R. Went to my chiro who cracked my bones and showed me latest acquistions, a couple of unicycles and a slackrope setup. This guy is an animal who does mountain marathons and brutal bike rides with gusto. He is a good chiro, though. I am glad I got it done before the expected snowpocalypse. There will be shovelling.
Be well and safe.

He is just now able to ride a block or so. He is 66 and I am impressed he is giving it a try. My breaking my pelvis in three places a few years ago and my neighbor breaking his lower left leg in three also, has made me very aware of how easy it is to severely injure myself and how hard it is to recover.

Morning all.
Wet and windy here. Forecast is for light rain......I am glad it didn't say heavy :wacko:.
I ended up going to bed late (for me) as I slept a lot yesterday. Woke at 0500 but drifted off again till 0610. Quite miffed as I like to hear the start of SoTS..

Just a thought this, not a sympathy vote and I am sure others have been in this situation.
Married 54 years. In my career I have 'worked away' a lot, all over Europe. Now its MrsD that is not here it takes some getting used to. Life is certainly a learning curve, ain't it ^_^
