Continue readingI like my new bike. Did I mention that? It is good to be back on two wheels. Today I skirted ’round the ringroad to the free Watereaton Park&Ride, and then cycled into town. Got there and back okay â…
Continue reading1. Got woken at 3 o’clock this morning by wind – no blustery gales – and I’m sure rain. However later on, the lake outside my house had gone down a bit, so I don’t know. At the Green Road…
