Wheels!

Today the weather is lovely, here in Barmouth. Paddy has been for his walk and was trusted to run free on the beach for a while. For the first moment, he couldn't quite believe his luck, but he was good and came back when called. 
And then, the time I could put off no longer, a bike ride. Only a little one as I haven't touched my bike for three years. I am not one of the world's naturally co-ordinated biker riders. I hang on to the handlebars like grim death and hope no-one gets in my way, but today, I couldn't really go wrong, cycling along the promenade from the caravan site to Barmouth itself, all level, no hills or even mild slopes; my idea of an ideal cycling route. Also, the weather is lovely, no wind today, a few white, scudding clouds and....sun! We could almost be in France.



And, at the end of the prom, they even had a bench all ready and waiting with my name on. Now that's what I call service.

I have fond memories of family holidays in Barmouth as a kid, but especially the Social Cycles you could hire. Four wheels, two mpairs of legs and a steering wheel -- much harder to fall of!

You would love it, John.
SP, sounds like my kind of bicycle. ;)

Never been to Barmouth, Jenny, but we live on a street called Dartmouth. The locals call it "Dart Mouth" but it's the same as a city near Halifax, Nova Scotia where the locals call it "Dartmith." Is Barmouth pronounced like Plymouth and Dartmouth and ... ? Perhaps I should shut my mith and return to my journal. ;)) Love the pics, btw!

You could "almost be in France"? Well apart from the food perhaps. Welsh cuisine is hardly on a par with French fayre is it? I am glad you enjoyed your bike ride - cycling on the flat is delightful and good for us.

Welsh cuisine when Keith does it comes a reasonably close second, YP. ;)

What is Welsh cuisine nanyway? Cheese on toast with a lamb chop on the side?

Thought that was Yorkshire cuisine, YP! ;)

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
