Alan, it was 28C in out backyard in sunny St John's in Surrey yesterday😎

I remember a "scooterist" on the Hull - Hoek ferry on their way to Italy - loaded to the gunwales. Deserved a medal. Hope the one you spoke to had informed insurers!

It is perfectly legal at 15 bhp and is a standard model. We just passed a 200 cc lambretta,fully loaded two up, doing a steady 65 on the motorway!! But maybe not for long!

Staggering up a one in four cobbled narrow street in the drizzle in Coimbra when a rumbling noise and a loaded Harley Davidson appeared and groaned to a halt! On board was a young man from Mexico! He had spent 7 months touring south America, shipped his bike across to Spain and had another 6 months or so to tour Europe. Not the most suitable bike for cobbled streets but he loved it! Going off to Prague next he said. A good place I told him! I never had the money or the nerve to do what he has done!

Not enough money.... said the man with a marvelous vincent in his garage to a sad man with no vincent in his garage! Coincidince that the sad man's name is also Vincent.

Bumped into a classic Car run by accident! 30 odd cars, m.g.s old austin10, mercs etc.the cream was an affable Frenchman in 1972 Ferrari Dino! Immaculate and very original, they went on a run and the next thing I saw was the Dino being put on the breakdown truck, how embarrassing! Also a lovely Austin 7 that also would not run! Just went by morini to medieval village up the most incredible paved road going up to 500 m. in only 3 miles! Went in the tiny local bar for a coffee, served by a blind chap and then had a mostly sign language chat with a tiny old lady all in black, just out of church! This is in a national park where time appears to stand still!

Sounds like quite a place Alan - any pix?

Oh, and where time stands still - that'd be Durham then

I'm enjoying reading this in a masochistic way as I wish I was doing it.

Take it from me North Yorkshire, and the County Council, make Durham look leading edge. Wish I hadn't left.

On a separate note, do you think your other business will be satisfactorily settled and you'll go to the Jampot at Rushden? I plan to though haven't booked yet

Well sad to report Ron but my business beat you to it!!!!

Back in Spain and staying near Leon. Out on the morini and got lost in the city, as usual! A young Spanish lad on a small Yamaha saw we were lost, stopped and guided us to the museum we wanted to visit, how kind is that?? Weather still poor it seems it's better back home! ( No means to send pics, Ron, sorry Rob about your mum).
