Poor blogging performance has been noted on here previously. I've a few days before the end of the year to catch up with my year, some boating some biking some family something of everything it seems but said many times it's my on line reminder of what I/we do.
So early May started with a blood bike shift on the lovely BMW R1250RT
I was trying to get the yard done spoiler alert - all but the path got put in - that's still under discussion between me and Rachel as she wants one style I want another = nothing gets done
On the 4th May my mum had her 90th birthday, a quiet affair in her care home but we met afterwards for a meal and one of my sisters brought a large tray of cakes ....
Percy or rather the mooring got a visit on the 8th May to give the grass a cut... if it is left too long the farmer has been known to strim it and that is always a messy job for the boat
It was a sad time to let the red Himalayan go - it was at over 20,000 miles and I got a good deal on a later low mileage model. Only about 500 quid to swap so a no brainer - just having to deal with the tyre kickers and 'George" the fella who brought the bike who lived in Oxford I met him at Stoke station he was wearing an anorak and crocks. he was with me 4 hours - he liked to talk and he'd had an interesting life !
The Green Himalayan was soon on duty - taking my punctured tyre and wheel of another bike to get fixed. I'd had the green on since late 2023... a slow swap over !
My Classic 350 Royal Enfield was getting the early summer evening rides in the dry... a lovely bike to ride look at and own. Here at Millers dale
When you get some height - up near Flash village the highest village in the mainland UK
On the middle weekend of May we were celebrating my son and his sons birthdays. Here is Benjamin who hadn't eaten any cake !!
....and his sister Lyra our Granddaughter
Birthday boy George, names after my dad
The party was at my youngest village pub in Chinley so we stayed in a lodge in Longnor or just outside as one of Rachels sisters took her caravan up there so we had a lovely walk to the Cheshire Cheese the next day for Sunday Lunch
Their caravan is the Braidbar of caravans !
Lovely walking countryside
I like Longnor - a possible place to live in the future if we want more village life
That got us to the middle'ish of May....
