Merlin Update

I posted yesterday that my super duper bike Merlin had a problem yesterday. Cable doing the gears snapped (it had worn out with all these miles I have been clocking up and hills climbed) and this cable is an internal cable! So it currently being repaired so having to revert to another bike  “Gringolet” for a few days. It is named after a horse-so I think we will do famous horses tonight for the quiz!

I have been writing my story and I did go down a blind alley and got stuck for a while but I think I may of resolved that. The bike rides help you go over your ideas.

A first yesterday we had a Hobby fly over the house (when I say a first I mean the first time I’ve seen one!)
