We woke to a grey (or is it gray?) morning – it had rained in the night and was colder in the morning (14 deg at 9am). We caught up with the blog, and Wyn started catching up on emails. … Continue reading →

We woke to the sound of rain on the roof. Now that was unusual. We cannot remember when it was that we last had real rain – how’s that for lucky. It was a gray morning, low cloud, light rain, … Continue reading →

We had a rather slow start to the day as it was a cloudy, cold morning with a southerly still blowing. We decided we would then make the most of the rest of the day and loaded our bikes onto … Continue reading →
