Things I will not miss…

Here are two things I will not miss once I get back home!

Sleeping in a single sized bed! Lost count of the number of times I’ve just about falling out of it!

Of course the main thing, I will not miss. Is having to put toilet paper in the bin, instead of down the loo…

Only two full days left!

I’ve only got two full days in Cyprus. Since I am flying back to Scotland late Saturday evening.

When I get back to Scotland, the much colder weather is going to take a while to get use to!

But of course, I am still hoping I will get at least one Scottish cycle in. Before heading back to England on the 29th September, which also happens to be my 37 birthday!

Day #7 in Cyprus

Here are some photo’s from day number 7 of my holiday in Cyprus.

Still having great time. But starting to looking forward to going home a week today. Then of course getting some a lycra on and out a much needed cycle!

Lycra mirror fun!

Loved London in Pride 2016

Loved every second of Pride in London! After what happened in Orlando just a number of weeks back. I had to go, we can’t let hate win!

I was in tears, when we had a minutes silence, during the march. We have come a long way, but still have a long way to go!

Best part, was seeing everyone looking so happy and of course the Red Arrows. I did not know anything about that, till they went over!

I am already looking forward to next year! Think, it will be even bigger and better next year! Since it will 50 years since homosexuality was legalised in the UK!

Falkirk Wheel, Blackness Castle and Forth Bridge

Neil joined us again for the last full day of Nick’s and myself mini tour of Scotland! Today we went to the Falkirk Wheel, Blackness Castle, Forth (Rail) Bridge and also walked half way over the Forth Road Bridge.

You would not believe that all these photos have been taken on the same day! When walking on the Forth Road Bridge, it was that wet, even my underwear was wet right thought!

We made it to Scotland!

That’s Nick and myself now in Scotland! After just under 320 miles of driving! It’s the first Nick’s ever in Scotland! I just know he’s going to have a great time! So many great places, I want to show him! Just hope the weather plays nice!

I will now leave you with some photos! The first of many, I am sure!! 😀

Stainmore Summit
At Stainmore Summit, at round the half way point to Scotland!
Love this view!
I love this love!
Welcome to Scotland Nick!
Nick is now officially in Scotland for the first time ever!!
To think, I've cycled...
Just to think, I’ve cycled all the way from John O’Groat’s to Land’s End!

Great 6 mile walk + more Geocaching

Went out a great 6 mile walk for Cooper Day. Found this very nice looking abandoned Church in Denton, Cambridgeshire. Also found 5 geocaches during the walk. So now found 9 in the last number of days! 🙂
