Yesterday evening went to a barbecue given to celebrate the return home of two of our townsmen. They have both cycled from Land's End to John o' Groats to raise money for the Cancer Research Charity. One of them is sixty five, and the other, Jimmy, a friend of ours, is seventy. They did the journey in a fortnight, averaging about seventy miles per day. I think that this is a remarkable, and admirable achievement!!!!
Took the above photo after we'd walked home, about ten at night, of high, wispy, slightly luminous looking clouds, in a nearly dark sky.
This morning motored to London to pick up the crossbow that Grandson Matt bought at auction. The above photo shows our youngest daught, Liz (Matt's mama), in her front garden just off Chiswich High Street. She gave us a very fine barbecued meal in her secluded (for London) back garden. Odd that - haven't been to a barbecue in ten years, then go to two of them in as many days.
Driving home decided to give the Satnav its head, and it brought us home through the centre of London, and eventually onto the Southern end of the A12. This probably saved us ten miles over our usual route home (North Circular, A25, and A12), but put about half an hour ON the journey. We've decided not to come home that way again. Game's not worth the candle.
Ten o'clock. Ann's just gone up, so must I. Good night all.

Photo 1 - I thought at first we were going to be shown the Northern Lights, as seen from your garden. Never mind. Another time. And as you always seem to be going to bed when I read this in the morning, I'll wish you goodnight to be going on with, as it's 10.30am here.
Well done those chaps.
Your daughter's roses are beautiful.
70 miles a day for two weeks! Gosh they must have gone North to South - downhill all the way!
