Done 1,200 miles on the bike, checked me messages at my cousin's place in Baaaarrry 10 days in now and am speaking in a Welsh Accent. Come home in two days. Miss me? I LOVE LONDON but boy are we living on a beautiful island. It depressed me just how many people told me they did not like London, like I asked them, right? But they felt they wanted to voice their opinions. Anyhow, I miss you and it, but biking round the countries England and Wales is faaaaaaaablus.

Love you ALL dahlings and missing you loads!

Byeeeeeeeeeeee!

You only want me for your fix of carbohydrate? Pahhhh.


Rain was indeed well forecast for today, and I had to be home by tomorrow.

So I came home last night.

Magnificent photographs to be seen when films are D&Pd* and CDs also acquired and installed!

Oh I am sooooooooooooooo happy. It was SUCH a good trip and coming home to MrPR (he's worked out how to use washing machine if not bread machine!) I know how lucky I am to be alive and with him! But solo motorcycle trips are a very necessary part of my sanity. Having done it several times before I have to declare that outside of London my favourite part of the Britain is most definitely the High Pennines. Oh, and the scary mountain passes of Lake District, oh and Yorkshire Dales's tiny lanes AND the mountain road from Aberystwyth to Rhayader, and while I think about it, most of Northumberland AND of course the Alston to Penrith mountain road stopping for coffee at Hartstop Cafe England's Highest Cafe!


Thank you all for reading!

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
