Morning all. Better looking morning this morning. Off out for a walk with Mabel shortly while there is no rain, then back for another day prepping the garden for the coming veg growing season.

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

House full of grandkids and my son is up from Brighton too. Activities will depend the weather I guess.

Weather is patchy today so I'll be in the greenhouse clearing the clutter from the staging and getting the module trays ready for the first sowings.

Pottering today as the weather is showery, but tomorrow is expected to be dry so the chain is lubed & tyre pressures checked ready for a burn to the Ponderosa / Ruthin or thereabouts.

Sunday & Monday will be taken as they come ...

Been a great walk to a pub that serves its beers straight out of the barrel, wonderful! Trouble is I was driving!

Morning all. Lovely sunny day here. Just waiting for Jan to arrive, then we'll walk the hounds and afterwards head out on the bike. Short ride first to make sure she's comfortable on the back before we embark on anything longer.

Who else is out on two wheels today?

I have just got the GSX out of the garage. My riding friend is busy so it will be a solo ride today. Our skies are not quite so clear as yours on the west side, sun is a bit hazy (but I'll take it nonetheless )

Just back from the Ponderosa via the Nant-y-Garth pass and Ruthin. It actually feels like Spring is springing at last.

A very nice ride, although there was a lot of run-off from fields on the roads so the bike is now pretty mucky and in need of a hose down.

The Horseshoe Pass is a great bike road.



Surely after being to The Ponderosa a 'hoedown' would be more apt than a 'hosedown' ??

Certainly in the summer months the Harley riders turn out in force and give it an American flavour. However, it's a bit chilly for them at the moment!
