Weekend
What did we do at the weekend you ask? Why didn’t I update? Very simply we had guests. On Saturday we took them round York in the rain. On Sunday we took them around Richmond and Easby. In the rain. In between, we huddled in the house and liste...
Aunts and panthers and bikes, oh my…
So. Firstly I have solved my bike problem. If you remember, at some point in the recent past I posted a couple of times that my bike was making horrible, scary rattling noises all the time. Yesterday I gave the bike the washing of a lifetime. I washe...
The McRoadTrip – Part Seven
Today we bid a sad farewell to tales of Bonny Scotland, but let’s go out with a bang. We certainly did (count the bangs if you don’t believe me). Though in future I think I’d prefer to go out with a Banff. Banff was lovely. Anyway. ...
The McRoadTrip – Part Six
Welcome back to the wacky world of me after a weekend off. And straight back in to the Scottish road trip. Here’s the somewhat impressive route for Day 6: We started the day in Ullapool and guess what? The sky is steely grey. It wasn’t a...

Gradual update
Actually, I’ll almost certainly add to this post throughout the day. I’m actually at home and not at work, partially due to the roads being flooded, which is not condusive to a Paul Revere style journey of six miles along tiny country roa...
Random God Rants
‘Scuse me while I pea myself… Mmm. That’s better. Interesting. Just looked out of the window at my motorbike. There are raindrops on the handlebar, fork and display area. The seat and the rest of the chassis is bone dry. The is one ...
Saturday short
It has to be a short update due to the many things to do today. I finally updated the website. There’s actually a photo of me that doesn’t involve me holding a beer, leering, capering or covered in anything fruity. That was a hard shot to...
