Drove from the lakes to the peaks today all on A &B roads as in no rush . Still some lovely scenery, except a load of shitty looking housing around Oldham area. On a very quite site tonight.
Washed, dried, and polished my car Washed and dried my van Helped my son wash, dry, and polish his car Cleaned the 996 and the FZR400RR ready for a show tomorrow Helped a neighbour with his BMW X5, as it was making a horrible noise, turns out, it shredded the auxiliary belt for the air con compressor
Went out for the evening in Lille. It is the "braderie de Lille"...The flea market of Lille if you like, during the day... But during the evening... I've never seen so many people on the streets having fun... insane... seriously... I'd recon half a million people having a street party...never seen anything like it.
Spent an enjoyable day at the Hinckley Bid car show, took my 996 and the FZR400RR Weather was OK for most of the day, then the rain started at just before 3pm
Charity ride-out today. This is about half way, everyone stopped so we could all catch up - then off again. A few nice Ducatis in the mix

Tonight's digs in the catskill mountains. Inside has most of the original woodwork from 1800. Stunning
Did you have a trip on the ‘Maid of the mist’, a bit touristy, but certainly demonstrates the power of nature!
29th wedding anniversary today, so, took The Dragon out for breakfast In about 15 minutes, I will be taking her out for the day, to somewhere that her, and her late mother were always talking of going, but, never got around to it Then, depending on how much money she leaves me, I may possibly take her out for a meal this evening
