So what have you done today..?

  1. 100 mile bimble around Warwickshire and the outskirts of the corwolds. First cafe was closed, second was holding a private coffee morning so ended up at the Piston Club for a bostin bacon and egg sarnie.
    Rode past Caffeine and Machine but having been there before and being full of posers then, also the food was pricey I gave it a miss.

  2. First rain of our trip and it's got heavier as the day has gone on.
    A couple of coffee stops and lunch in a nice little cafe to keep out of the rain.
    Now at a large campsite holed up in the van eating biscuits being told not to spoil dinner ! I'm 51 , not 9 . Not many pics today.

  3. Took A group of lovely Australians around the countryside ending up at Goodwood. Stopped at caffeine and machine next to Loomies for the second but for me, what will be the last time. One Ducati there. Stopped for lunch near Goodwood for the best fish and chips I've had possibly in my life, good value as well.

  4. I doubt that personally very much. But let's wait 3 weeks and see what happens?

    Naturally I will agree with you if the economy has collapsed (massive inflation rise back to the last government normal of 11%, massive unemployment rise, mortgage rates all 6- 7% back to the 2024/5 norms).

    I'm sure if these do not happen you will agree that the economy is doing OK?
     
  5. Well at first I was undecided but now I’m not sure. ;)

    I’ve never seen an “S.P.Q.A” inscription before. “S.P.Q.R” was an acronym for “Senatus Populusque Romanus” (The Senate and People of Rome) and given that you’re in Holland, I’m guessing that is some sort of government building in Amsterdam?

  7. Were they driving the sports cars or had you taken your mini bus?
     
  8. the former, and miraculously no casualties out of 14 cars - average age (of cars) was around 60 years.

  11. Yesterday I was at the funeral of my friend that was killed in the tragic bike accident in Lancashire last month. The funeral was held in Cheshire.

    The church was rammed and people were even outside the church wanting to pay their respects.

    To say it was an emotional day would be an understatement .

    I got home at 10pm last night a tad knackered but pleased I'd gone.
