The dust has settled from last weekend. Shock horror I have had to turn down two Story Telling opportunities for later in the summer because I have other commitments that have sadly clashed. I am normally fairly flexible but long-standing arrangements have got in the way! One was at a festival which would have been different for me.

I have been back on the bike and have been clocking up the miles over the week. I have been pleased with my climbing considering I have had a fortnight off.

At the end of last week we went North to see an old friend who is seriously ill. We camped in Cedric (our wonderful camper) by Morecambe Bay and witnessed a wonderful sunset. A special highlight was seeing an Osprey appear and dive and catch a large fish-magic! I’ve seen a few over the last few years  but to watch one catch a fish was a first for me!

Notice I have avoided mentioning football. I went yesterday and although we played well and were unlucky that is just about it as far as this season goes!
