In have returned from shoppobg. I had to go to Mach first to drop Mr WD prescription off, then go back on myself to Newtown to shop. All in all a total of 70 miles just foe dam shopping and prescripton. That's the downside of living in the sticks:laugh:


We gave up doing our major shop eighteen months ago.Round trip of twenty miles Now have weekly deliveries from Tesco and some from Acado Even when things open up doubt we will return to shopping We have a small CoOp in the village if we need anything we have forgotten.

Good afternoon folks,
I saw Mrs Tenkaykev off on her train journey to Scotland. She’ll be getting the overnight sleeper to Glasgow and starting the John Muir way in the morning. I’m watching the Scotland game at the moment, that second goal was a bit of a sucker punch 😮. Let’s hope they can dig something out.

WOW!!! :eek: That was like old times. All bar one of the gang out plus a couple of guests - those who turn out from time to time - on a flat loop to Ainsdale (Southport). First time we've had six for over a year.

68 miles, 16.8avg and everyone flying. It was actually 17.4avg to the meet point, riding home always drops the average.

Time for a brew and clean the Kinesis.

Feeling very happy.

At least you can travel when you want and not like on an island when you can only travel if there is a slot when a tourist has not booked months ago

I thought Scotland had to score 1st to have a chance.
Sadly, once CZE scored Scotland imo were going to lose.
 
It’s stayed windy and mostly cloudy all day, quite chilly at times. Spent the morning at the HWP then moved onto the Insh Marshes RSPB reserve for a picnic and afternoon stroll. 4 layers required for lunch.

Are any of you bilingual? I need help with translation. I've found a note stuck to the kettle:

"Have not made chicken pie. We will have it tomorrow."

What does this mean? 🤔🤔

Mo....he is from Chorley. They don't speak proper English like wat as ow we do.
Worse, he's from down South

I completely agree. I was born a southerner though after 4 years in Yorkshire and 39 in Lancashire hope I qualify as northern.

Occasionally I have contact with folk I know in London and the south-east. I'm so glad I left, the thought of becoming like or adopting such attitudes as I encounter horrifies me.
