Monday, June 8 The sun was shining in Bourton-on-the-Water this morning! Today we had planned an outing on the bus and we set off for a morning stroll through the village to investigate the bus timetable. Well, the first thing I noticed was that Bourton-in-the-Water is a lovely little village when it has the opportunity... Continue Reading →

Saturday, June 6 We were up and moving pretty early this morning, just so we could escape the “holiday park”! We once again packed up under grey skies (the sunny streak had ended!) and the wind was blowing at 32km/ph too, so it was very blustery for riding. Off we went and the first village...

This morning we left our lovely, magic campsite in the field behind the pub in Wilcot and set off to ride further into the Cotswolds. It was such a nice place to stay and while we left under grey skies and a bit of drizzle, by mid morning the sun was out and our magic... Continue Reading →

Wednesday June 3 Time to move on from the charm and gorgeousness of Bath, which I did reluctantly because I really liked it and would loved to have stayed on a bit longer. Oh well, on we go and at least we actually left in sunshine! We rode through the city streets again, downhill this... Continue Reading →

We had a roaming day today, despite some less than pleasant weather. We started with a leisurely breakfast while the rain came down and the wind blew and I successfully dodged the horrible hash browns and just had some good ol’ baked beans on toast, while Steve continued to enjoy the full English. We decided to... Continue Reading →

Saturday May 30 Today was another of those days where I’m grateful for the opportunity to meet wonderful people! I was up fairly early again, so I set off at 5:30 for a morning run along the promenade of Weston-Super-Mare. It felt like I had the town to myself because there was no one around,...

Yep, I was back in the darn blue raincoat again today! We sat at our table in the small hotel, eating our full English breakfast and looking out the window at the rain coming down. Again! Seriously! Come on now, enough! I was back in the "slicks" and we set off on our loaded bikes,... Continue Reading →

Well, the pattern did continue and it did rain! Thankfully though it rained all night and had cleared by the morning, by which time it was only freezing cold! You know it's cold when Steve is in layers of puffer jackets and still saying he's cold. In fact he said a couple of times today,... Continue Reading →

Well, the weather had a change of heart today and we had sunshine...all day! It hit 20C! It was really warm riding and it was great! Before leaving the city we stopped at a 99p store so Steve could fill his water bottles, then I walked across the road to a health food store for... Continue Reading →

Another mega blog I'm afraid! We haven't had any wifi for days, so there's a bit to catch up on and report. Here goes... Sunday May 24 The day dawned beautifully, quite literally, because I was there to see it! I do wish I could sleep longer and later but unfortunately I don't seem to... Continue Reading →
