Events

I have been busy sorting and decluttering - I made the mistake of taking out a box of old photographs.......our big day, 25 years ago!

 

Last weekend we had an expeditions - to Sunderland. It always amazes me how the people from Sunderland do NOT understand us when we speak and vice-versa. I was asked which part of Wales I was from not so long ago!

 

Saturday our Evening Meal was Swordfish loin - first time I have cooked this but must say it was delicious.

 



A change from the Moto Guzzi on Sunday - back to the Honda

to the Ridewell event at local Preston Park.

 



Jon fancies one of these next - a BMW!

 

 



Back home Bing continues to grow!

 

 



and the hens enjoying a dustbath.

Bev (the black one) is now over a broody period and is now giving us the blue eggs we love.

 

Mabel has taken to laying her eggs in the wood shavings container inside the henhouse.

 

My neighbour has a new puppy - Reg (far right - photo position not his political leaning! lol)

As Emma works part time I am the official puppy minder and see the dogs have exercise and Reg eats his meals.

Awwwwwwwwww!

D is for Duck.

Way back in 2000 or possibly 2001 I spotted a duck backpack at the Scottish Bike Show. At the time the world and his wife seemed to have a Shaun the Sheep backpack and me being me wanted something different.
To this day I have not seen another when we are out and about on the motorbike.
The duck has been to France at least 3 times, done Assen in the Netherlands a couple of times, been to Ireland and the Isle of Man 6 times.
He has met many famous racers and indeed is well known in public circles.

This week Jon and I did something quite DIFFERENT - we joined a motorbike club, the Moto Guzzi GB Club. Last night, Tuesday was the East Riding meet up in Wetwang, about an hour and a half away on the Moto Guzzi.

We had a great time, meeting new people and talking about the Moto Guzzi motorbikes, oh and Wetwang has a FABULOUS Fish and chip shop!
How did they spot us? Correct they were looking for a duck!

We are really enjoying the Moto Guzzi

Many more Destinations are on the way!

This is D in my ABC Adventures on the Moto Guzzi.

make do and mend!

Like half the nation we replaced our internal doors with bog standard colonial doors.
However the original door furniture was not in the correct place for the knob.

So we are re-positioning them all, together with the door furniture and giving all the doors a good white gloss treatment.
