The Bike Ride Which Wasn’t

After deciding not to cycle last weekend we were all looking forward to it today. Putting the bikes on the car and we discovered Daisy had a puncture. Only store open for repair kit (No, I don’t know why we didn’t have one either) was Pitsford 6.5 miles away so we drove there. As our destination was Salcey Forest we then drove there to repair the puncture and set off 17.5 miles. Upon arrival we discovered it’s worse than that (it’s dead Jim), the brakes were hanging loose with the bolt missing! So, we headed off for Halfords and, two hours after leaving home headed back home again, another 9 miles so a total of 33 miles and two hours for nothing really :-(

All rather frustrating

A lovely day albeit for a challenging return journey when the M1 was closed.   Now, what did we do on March 18th? Hmmm .... Ah yes, we got married! Link here to Pictures It took several weeks of planning calling in every favour we could, saving money where ever possible. I often think these cheaper weddings are the best. I think it's unlikely even with all the essential costs for the cere...
