Pretty good first day to Stow on the Wold, and very good to meet old friends Bruce and Marj, and share a couple beers and a very good plate of liver and bacon at the Queens Head. Got back to the Youth Hostel and met Barry (aged 70), who at the age of 60 decided to sell his flat and see the world.
One of his ventures was to buy a truck in USA spend 4 1/2 months travelling round 42 states and Canada and then selling the truck for $200 more than he paid for it.
Good trip to Milton Keynes after changing inner tube. Second day - first puncture!
Thanks to everyone who posted comments. Great to hear from you all - especially Sweetheart.
I've just had some sausage!! So pleased to hear you're already having such an adventure and you've not even left the UK yet. We all miss you here already. xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Grandpa. Glad to hear take off has happened. Bit windy today when I cycled to work. Hope the pedalling wasn't too much of a struggle for you.... Really glad you have decided to raise money for Syria - those poor people need it more than anybody. Keep up the good work. Love Rachxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Rachael (Jess!),
DeleteGlad you think the Syrian Crisis Apeal is worthwhile. Of course there are loads of very worthwhile causes, but I think their predicament is particularly desperate at the moment. Lets hope I can raise a few shekels.
