An evening hue to the map tonight as it’s later than usual (Again, apologies for not getting to comments at the moment. My ‘downtime’ has been so sociable and the cycling days so long that it’s been using up all of my ‘comments’ time! I do read them and I’ll get to them soon x) […]
My bicycle was expertly guarded during the night from all of the rogue wildlife looking for a bike to chew on by Sally’s two lovely cats. They may not have been awake for most of the time, but they were there in spirit. A LITTLE HISTORY: Sally really was the most wonderful company, and even […]
I woke up to find that the City Cafe had posted a photo of my visit yesterday on their Facebook page, plus a couple of shots of my card to encourage donations – many thanks for the support ladies! I thought I’d post another of my mum’s poems today. Her book is keeping me company […]
Today transpired to be another day following the pattern of a great start, a brilliant 2nd breakfast, then a rough afternoon. Is the answer to make the 2nd breakfast at the end? Please, no, don’t make me do it. Even as an experiment. I thought I’d welcome you all to a small part of my […]
(There’s some nice early evening sunshine on the map today) Happy Yorkshire Day! The 1st of August is officially the yearly celebration of the great county of Yorkshire in England, where my eldest son Sam is living (doing his PhD at York university) and where he’s now on holiday with his mum, aka Susie, on […]
It’s the last day of July today, and 31 days since my trip started. It was a great day on and off the bike to mark the occasion. This morning’s ride was a real Nature Day here on Incidents of Travel. I loved being in a such a quiet campground again. I slept with the […]
I woke up feeling like a different person, proving how effective a restful rest day can be. It was so restorative that even leaving at 4.30am didn’t seem too bad. And best of all, the headwind had mostly taken a rest day too. The sky started lightening in the east about an hour later. After […]
I spent the morning with coffee and crumble and as close to the a/c as I could, letting my legs and other parts recover from yesterday. Apart from a brief leg cramp that drew the attention of coffee-queuers when I suddenly started saying ‘ow-ow-ow!’, that bit went ok. I enjoyed planning my exit tomorrow from […]
(Incidents of Travel is functional again. I finally found some Wi-Fi that works at the lovely Wave Coffee shop. And a/c too. Bliss. May stay til they close at midday!) On a scale of short to massive, I would rate today’s stage as ‘massive’. You have been warned! DECISIONS, DECISIONS: The trouble with being in […]
