Apologies. Currently fighting significant lymphatic condition. May not say ‘thanks’ as much as I should ☹️.
Hope to be riding roads & trails of Wensleydale again. Depleting my wine collection. 😍 hills, mountains, some stargazing & tending my flowerbed.

This man had eyesight so poor that even with glasses, he failed to pass the requirements. When he killed this child, he wasn’t even wearing his glasses!

Foolishly committed to removing the cement-based pointing & cement-based ‘decoration’ (adulteration) from my Dales sandstone house.
3 weeks of hard labour 😖
Installed Swift homes & discovered pottery inside the 300+ year old wall 🤷♂️

Whilst he dabbled in the pharmaceutical dark art of pro cycling, Michele Scarponi was immensely likeable. Self deprecating, very humorous & human.
On 22 April 2017, his life was taken just 2 days after his stage victory in the Tour of the Alps by a dangerous driver. #cycling #rip #tourofthealps

Getting soaked through today on the first warm(er) day made me regret the passing of the ice & snow.
Sort of.
