Should have packed (no) scratch mitts! Too weary to write tonight. Here's the only photo I took today. I'm heading in that direction now, taking the anti histamines and hoping for a better night. I was awake at 2 am this morning eating cake - it was all I had and I was hungry! Been... Continue Reading →
Oh dear! Today I got eaten. A huge swarm of carnivorous mozzies attacked me, horrible! Slapping all my limbs like a very bad morris dancer, I got 3 of the beggars and they were full of blood already - mine! Ouch. On the upside, I was bought lunch. Very handy to have a sister and...

So far wind hasn't been a problem on this bike ride. (Long pause while David stops chortling....) Today was a day of two halves: impossibly pretty Norfolk villages in little valleys, like The Shire. Then this afternoon it was all fenland: boring, flat, dead straight roads for mile after mile and a huge impressively hot... Continue Reading →

This is just to see if I can send blog updates from my phone. And can I attach a photo? WOW! I can. It worked 🙂 Happy days.
Making a list for my cycle ride. 5 days worth of stuff because David can bring supplies for days 6,7 and 8. Â So far: cycling outfit (shorts/t-shirt/socks) x 2 (That's one set on and one being 'recycled') pants - 1 pair ('1pair?' Mind your own business) trackie bottoms x1 warm fleece x 1 wet weather...

So I cycled 60 miles yesterday - and the only part of my body that hurts is the one part that has absolutely nothing to do with riding my bike - my teeth! This does seem a little unfair but 'hey', Â I'm deeply, deeply grateful that no other bits of me are hurting. Some bits... Continue Reading →
Touring the UK and Coming to Rugby - Thursday June 13th 8pm at St Matthews and St Oswalds church! 'A quantum physicist and a vicar walk into a bar... joining forces to solve  a perplexing mystery, they discover the real meaning of faith, knowledge, love and the importance of keeping an open mind. A brand... Continue Reading →
