  Well I’m on my own let’s go  Loire Valley cycling website on Wordpress

 Cycled to Walton station . Uber would have cost £13. Return £25.  Met Scottish Graham and Shaun at Woking Station. We drove to McDonalds for breakfast ( cofffee for me and cheese burger for G , latte for S)  Was a different Shaun to the one I imagined . He built the wall for Tim .  At the funeral saw  Cowboy Bob , Andy King , Frazer, Noel and Trish , Dave the cake , Chris and Paula, Siobhan and Greta. Don .  Went for the bite to eat later .  They sang one day at a time sweet Jesus . At the ceremony the coffin was held back . 

 Went to Walton Methodist for the first time to possibly two years .  Greeted by Colin and Sandra , Rosanne , Jean , lovely , Margaret Grave .  The sermon was from It’s Rev Adam Payne.  He’s a very pleasant, likeable and interesting American who is seeking to live permanently in this country.  The sermon was about the parable of the sower. He does the seeds all with love .  Lovely felt queasy and helped hot to the Oasis church near the Montessori school where her sister went . It was okay . Might go there again .  She thought she was going to have a heart attack and blessed me for coming for the first time in ages . It was meant to be .  Called around Maria’s house for a chat and ended up having dinner and watching the tennis . Arrived at 1230 left at 2030. 

 

 Ventured by train to Victoria and the southern link to Dulwich Park. Nice area very culturally diverse . Need to take a wander up there again some time . 

  This was taken in May 2019 when myself and Heidi went to the trooping of the colour .  This week Huw had been identified as the news presenter who has paid for explicit sexual photographs .  He is now on hospital suffering from mental health issues .  I have been trying to find the 2002 video in Welsh where he describes mental health issues 

 Took the bike in the van to Datchet as I needed to return to Molesey for Elton John at Painshill.  Would have been 115 km .  Leader was Ray Y and back marker Alan . Rest of the group Fixie , Me , Julie , Chris H, Diane , 

 Eileen invited me and Veronica can along too .  Finished early at 2130 ish . 

 Packed the tent in the VW Caddy as it had poured down overnight .  Dawn was still asleep when I knocked on her van at 1020. She had drink a whole bottle of wine last night .  So we drove to Stackpole Quay and walked to Barafundle beach and around to view Broad Haven  Dawn made her way home , I returned to the campsite and made the bedding in the van to sleep the night .  It was ok . Pitch black inside the van it worked out well . There was an exctescher with her Two dachshund . Surprised as it was really site. 

 Decided to move from Camp to Elmer’s Bosherton campsite .  Good move . £6 a night .  Visited lily ponds which were quite impressive and then followed foot path to Broad Haven beaches. Stockpole stack. Then we went to see St Govans chapel which was in Dark Materials series 3 episode 1  Pasta and tuna for dinner
