This is the latest ‘feature’ advert in the Nuneaton Observer for our house. It’s from the 23rd July but I’ve only just got around to scanning it in.

Today we went shopping in Coventry, no major dramas but I did have a Chocolate Muffin Ice Cream Sundae which was far bigger than either my eyes or stomach could cope with.. And tomorrow morning it’s another early start as I drive back to Wales – hopefully with some new parts for my mountain bike so as I can get it ready for the hammering that Tom has planned later in August. On the bank holiday weekend the plan is to ride one of the Afon Forest paths, which conveniently for me are just down the road from the in-laws. I thought it would be a good idea to make sure my little old mountain bike isn’t the first to break down so I’ve invested in some slime filled inner tubes, which supposedly reseal themselves if they get small punctures. And just in case that doesn’t work, I’ll have spare tubes and a co2 tyre pump as a backup.
