Cambridge Botanic Garden
Despite having lived in and around Cambridge for the last twenty five years, I have never been to the Botanic Garden. So yesterday the Good Lady and myself spent the afternoon having a good look around.

Bunty
Yesterday we said good bye to Blaufell My Fair Lady. Known as Bunty, Bubblegum bum, Bunts or sometimes The Bunternator.
For ten glorious years, she was my friend. Always faithful yet frequently dissobedient, she was simply always 'there'.
Bunty, you were the best dog any man could wish for, and it was a privilige to have known you. Thank you for all the joy you brought me and my family. Good bye sweetheart.

Wilkinsons half price home brew
Went to Ely and the stuff was just flying off the shelves! Still I managed to bag this lot. All at half price.
This will keep me going for a while.

A little bimble
I was at a bit of a loose end yesterday so pointed Peanut's handlebars North and took myself off for a little bimble.
After ten miles or so of being overtaken by caravans on the A 10 I decided to hit the B roads instead and doing a bit of sun navigation I tried to head North East. I finally hit the coast at Blakney which was a bit further East that I had hoped but a great ride none the less.
A fuel stop in Blakney, then it was on to Wells;next-the-sea for chips and a stroll around the town. It is a few years since I visited and I was pleased to see it thriving. I was especially pleased to see the harbour being used more with the addition of a floating pontoon for leasure craft. At the end of the channel there was another development with a dock for comercial craft. I believe these craft service the off shore wind turbines dotted along the coast.
I will always have a soft spot for Wells as this is where my parents had their second hand book shop. It is now a gift shop calles Simply Norfolk
Then it was a easy ride home. 147 miles in total. Peanut ran like a sewing machine and comsumed a staggering £7.60 in petrol. There were lots of 'power rangers' on the roads but I bet they didnt have have half as much fun as me on the old Cub.
