Comfortzone Expanding Wine
R had a theory that time goes faster as you get older because you have fewer new experiences. We decided to put this to the test by going for a different bottle of wine at our favourite Wallingford eatery. Comfort-zone expanding.
Biffa Bin
Garry, the garden waste bin, feels unloved. Biffa have been ignoring him. I've said not to take it personally, but I don't think I've been that persuasive.
Garry has written to Biffa, we'll keep you updated.
Tidy Jumps
The kids that jump really do keep the woods tidy. We could learn a thing or too from them. Not least because they clean up the mess that people throw out of their car windows and then blows in from the road.
Lock Rescue
The environment agency are preparing a rescue mission for the lock keeper. First stage is creating a parking area that's protected from the mud-quake.
Gravel loop ride
The diverge managed an awesome south Oxfordshire loop. It was nicely muddy, with only just enough grip from the hybrid tyres. A slip-sliding backend of a ride.
Thames Path
The path is closed at Benson lock.
Debris damage to the wear and the walkway over it means the path across the river may be shut for a while, possibly to 2024.
The folks from Richmond who left their boat on the beach in September came back to try and pump it out. But the pump and generator weren't up to the task so the boat is still there... but now with fresh coloured holding straps.
Adventures in Wine
One of the guests needed some help selecting the wine for dinner. It turned into a little education for us, like a mini personalised wine tour!
Filtering and decanting.
Lovely.
Morning coffee run
A morning ride to grab coffee had the added bonus of watching the polar express warming up.
