lots been going on but

The big news is little brother has finished his Grand Cycle Tour of Scotland as the picture here shows.

Well done Robin Dad would be proud of you, and he probably is.

little brothers progress

It might not be about me but its about someone who matters to me.

Little brother is doing well and so far is on track coming up to the end of week one. Last night he was at Brora after a tricky day which led to him seeing more of the Black isle than he really wanted too. His spirits are good and physically he seems to be enjoying it or is it eating the two cooked breakfasts a day that he is enjoying.

Anyway got some pictures now sent from his mates at Nairn where he stayed Wednesday night. There are two above one is from the Forth Road Bridge , wheres the other one I dont know can you help????

I will post more later on.

Its all go well almost

Blimey I think we had at least what ten minutes rain this evening, got to write that down.

Been an odd day really I had to open my wallet and buy some more kit for work should be able to do a few more jobs now in peoples gardens.

Then there is little brother, Robin the wanderer, he is now in Scotland ready to start his 1000 mile cycle ride tomorrow morning. Been hard to get the local press to pick this up but there are a couple of Marie Curie ladies in Scotland who have been pushing hard, got him some warm showers some nights and evening meals. We will see how it goes. Robin had his picture taken today, thats it at the top, with a local patron of Marie Curie in Scotland Dame Barbara Kelly. So there is no backing out now for him especially as the sponsorship money is slowly going up. Have you sponsored him yet????

What happend to it then

What happened to the rain, I could smell it the other day but did we get any in the bit of Histon I live in, nah.

So the gardening is slacking off, I mean you cant cut lawns when they are not growing and I wont cut a lawn and charge for doing it as things are, I might be mad but I cant take money of folk for cutting a lawn that does not need cutting. Mind I am hearing that some people are still pushing mowers over lawns throwing dust up all over the place and charging folk for doing it.

Anyway we have spent hours today sorting bits out for Robins Grand Tour of Scotland

Little Brother and his Ideas

Little brother has this idea which has now got a life of its own as they do.

He is going to cycle 1000 miles around Scotland from the end of July to late August, 65 miles a day or thereabouts carrying all his food etc not a backup vehcle in sight.

He does this, a couple of years ago it was canoe across England from the Mersey to Lowestoft, again its going to be to raise money. This time for Marie Curie, one of their nurses stayed by our Dad last year after he came home from hospital until he died from cancer where he wanted to go, at home with mum.

So its getting him set up with Just Giving etc now so hopefully folks can make a donation if they wish.
