Sunday .. In this area ..well, Frome Market actually .. Staverton side of Frome ..more like little Poland, Poles mainly from Trowbridge .. bright day, sunny, brisk .. took the bike out to check it out ..had it a week now, 523 miles on the clock already, time for it`s first service me thinks.  This is the start of the boot sale season now. I Spent a Quid to get in, saw lots, bought nothing .. oh, well back to E-Bay. Took the other half to the Lakes (Chew Valley) for a picnic and walk in the sun .. midges, midges and more midges. Still, the ice cream was nice. How was your weekend?

Sunday, absolutely spot on this week, a sun day it definately was. We won't mention Saturday, wet 'n windy. Don't like to be picky Bill but wern't you supposed to be doing garden carpentry over the weekend, shed, pergola, decking, are words that spring to mind, never mind I imagine a trip out to Frome Market Boot Sale for a spot of retail therapy and putting a few miles on the bike were worth it and you probably redeemed yourself with the trip to Chew Valley plus picnic. We used to frequent the Boot Sale at Frome as well, Shirl even did a few there, I thought all the Poles had gone home since Britain started going down the toilet, I see that Trowbridge has just twinned with somewhere in Morocco, they could at least have made it Casablanca.
Well what we did at the weekend, Saturday not much. Sunday went down to Dartmoor for a walk, did about five miles around an area called Soussons Down near Postbridge, just warming up for a few longer ones now the days are getting longer and the weather better, took a picnic with us and found a nice spot near some tin mine ruins, there are some on Dartmoor but you've got to look for them, in future I'll have to take a camera with us and leave a few pics for general perusal, haveing been arse deep in a bog before now they could be amusing, you've got to watch those bogs, you stand on something that look a bit damp find you're standing on something that resembles a blancmange just before you sink into it.
