Weather perked up yesterday and today, so another busy couple of days with the Beckenham Boys. Yesterday James and I rode the tandem to Headcorn Airfield and back. James getting bigger and stronger now and has a good balance and is a safe rider. The cafe was open so it was loads of unhealthy food […]
James and Alex joined us yesterday as their parents went off for a quiet few days! Weather was lovely so we did the weir again as we did with the Reading Boys. Plenty of wet clothes but a lot of fun. Today it has rained almost all day so apart from a Hobbycraft shop trip […]
Sorry for the delay in blogs, I have been rather busy over the past few days. We had Stuart and family with us the weekend. Had a great time with them all. Improved weather so we kept away from trips to the beach and stayed local. Stuart Danny and I did our 5k run along […]
Today my friend Norman and myself erected the Shelterbox tent. That’s the first time for about 18 months so it took us a nearly two hours. It is not an easy job as these tents become almost permanent homes for those round the world who have been victims of disasters. Stuart and family arrive on […]
Good ride with MikeD to Penshurst but when nearly there and turned onto the Penshurst Place road there was Uncle Les laying on the ground with his daughter Julie trying to sort him out. We arrived just after Les had hit a pothole and come off his new bike. We took a while to check […]

Sue and I are off for a short break in Bournemouth tomorrow, so no blog until we return late Saturday. Might be able to do an update on Sunday. 60 mph gales forecast on south coast in next couple of days so we are dressing up for the winter weather and plan long walks in […]
Today our 21-4-21 Shelterbox event started off with a photoshoot at Brands Hatch. It was great fun and good to be out with my Rotary club friends again, great break from Zoom. Some excellent photos which will be put to good use for our publicity for our towing a trailer with Shelterbox for 21 miles […]
I took the opportunity for a different run route yesterday. Out to Langley then along the cross country path by the River Loose and lake. Halfway along I took a wrong turning finishing up in field of cows and marshy cow pats. I had to turn back and eventually found the proper path that took […]
