Morning. I have bimbled. 24 miles done. Just five or six years ago that would have been a very modest ride and now it feels like a long one. I enjoyed the peace and quiet though.
Just running a bath for a nice soak now before breakfast.

Morning all.
I won't bore you with details but yesterday was very mixed.
1st let me thank Mr Screenman and others for your thoughts
, amazing how much that helps.
There were 13 people, mainly family but with a few close friends.
Lots of hugs. Lots of tears from me (we're do do all come from)
Daughter was a massive help eg everyone was invited to put some soil in and I declined. After a chat with her I managed to do it.
Granddaughter put her arm around me and supported me throughout.
Pub meal was a success though I struggled to eat anything.
Again I thank you all the support.
Well done Dave, my eldest son is supporting me throughout this time, like your daughter is you, if you have any idea on how to thank them let me know.

The Brixton brewery is very good, but as you found out, their craft ales come at a substantial price.
Whereabouts is the Fox on the Green?
Just hug them and cry/sob is what I have done. Few words are needed.
If you are anything like me you wont be able to speak much anyway.
If its any consolation I was thinking of you yesterday.

Okey dokey im off to ebay to press a few buy it now buttons [derailleur bits]
"Nearly" hitting a deer won't stock your freezer
I look forward to the day I can buy you a pint, we should make it happen.

Good morning all, pleasantly sunny here, temp set to rise to high teens later.
Yesterday was spent in the cattle crush of the Royal Highland Show. First time we’d been there since before the pandemic. I enjoyed some of it but not the crowds. And the Food Hall wasn’t as good as I remembered it.

It’s years since I’ve been. How much is it to get in now?
Morning all 
Towed back safely from Wiltshire yesterday; caravan now back on my drive ready for next time.
Must thank my lovely neighbour for watering all the stuff in my greenhouse daily. Pity he can't eat tomatoes!
Off out for a stroll on the Quantocks this morning before we go for lunch at the Railway Inn.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I just realised that its raining here. Its so fine that I can hardly see it.
Islington Green, just around the corner from our hotel. We moved on to the Bull and had a really nice Stonewall IPA ( about a quid cheaper)

Very warm and muggy here, but overcast too. Hoping a storm is on the way!
