Old age has caught up with my beloved Shadowfax, my faithful workhorse who carries all my Story Telling props, birdwatching gear and shopping. When I called myself “The Story Traveller”  I envisaged my bike carrying me and my props to my gigs, which Shadowfax has covered thousands of miles doing. Sadly the bike has now to go to the Great Bike Shed in the sky. I got the bike nearly 30 years ago when I moved to Dursley as a Headteacher and pedalled regularly to work on it. So it is a sad day- I now have to look for a replacement to do the job, my other bikes are not suitable. The picture above is Shadowfax and some handsome bloke on Clifton Suspension Bridge – I was cycling with my son David from Exeter (his home) to Frampton (my home) many years ago!

I am driving to my Gig tomorrow night for Dursley WI!!!!
