A timid question will always receive a confident answer. -Henry Lytton Bulwer, diplomat and author (1801-1872)
Terrific to chat to you both, Gayle and Derek! Glad all goes well. Before I forget, I do urge you to do the Grouse Grind with Krissy. If weather allows, it is something you'd enjoy. Cable car ride down is also enjoyable.
Fondestos from the Chief Inspector Korakova to one and all. Cheers, Patrizzio, about to be shorn but unbowed!
Pics: A side of the ruthless Zhenshchina-Politseyskiy I never experience!
That cat looks like he is pure heaven!!!
Spudnik is often in "Pure Heaven" , as you put it, when he receives the attention he believes he deserves, otherwise he makes life "Pure Hell" for those disregarding his never-ending, pathetic meows! He can teach Maggster a trick or two! Love, Dad!
Snapola: Spudnik smelling the flowers!
Dad, look you could mount past bike handle bars!!!! Mom, sorry this could be the "new" look for your house!!! xx
I knew there was some reason why I should be collecting bicycles instead of fridge magnets! Missed my chance in Bath! Love and Cheers, Dad/Patrizzio!
PS: Nana promises to keep a lookout for some high-end Italian bikes when sipping Prosecco in Rome!
Hello Cornwall, (Devon), in Canada!
Quite a walk! I'm impressed! In one day? And I thought my ride, yesterday, to Perranporth and beyond, was something! When at East Pool Mine Museum I'll try to holler up some of your ancestors' spirits! Fondestos from Cora Lee to you and one and all at VWF. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Our summer has continued warm and mostly dry and sunny- not quite
as warm as when you were up here. My cycling has been more restricted
but my tendons are improving and I have done some running particularly
when we are in West Hartlepool on the hard sand
when the tide is out. I have attended the physio four times now and am
still awaiting the bill.
We hosted a 90th birthday party for Chris Mum last weekend, and it
was well attended by her children, granchildren and great grand
children- again fortunate with the weather.
Rich came up from London after working in KL and visiting Bali with
a lady friend- we still haven't met her- she works in Singapore but is
Irish. They moved around the island and she attempted to improve his
surfing.
As we are trying to have a recovery day- despite bike ride, weights
and gardening we are visiting golf club for dinner again this evening.
Didn't fancy loading the dish washer yet again.
We both have been enjoying the Ashes series against Australia. live
on the radio then recordings on the evening and also the World
Athletics Championships. I notice you are following more cultural
pursuits as usual. The second play you saw sounded of interest.
Had the reminder from the wine course man about next term's proceedings
but shall excuse myself. I noticed your analysis of your recent wine
consumption but can't see my ever taking my interest any further than my
moderate but nevertheless enjoyable consumption.
I will have to accept the analysis given by Laithwaites who create and
provide most of the wine I drink.
Hope your travels continue successfully. Best wishes, Jim and Christine
Hello Chandler and Joey!
Looking forward to seeing you two, and your dumb owners! Can hardly wait to be back climbing Box Canyon Road as it compares to yesterday's ride to Perranporth and beyond.
Fondestos from the Chief Inspector Korakova to you and one and all of your humans. Cheers, Patrizzio, about to be shorn but unbowed! Pics: Your Cornish cousin, Spudnik!
Hello Natalia and Wrathful One! From the sounds of it, you've been busy traveling yourselves! Say hello to Giggster, et al. Weather should be great for them on Hornby. I'm afraid my malt collection will have suffered terribly while away, (Sarge!), so NRBC will be meeting at your place from now on. Stop smoking and spend your cash on malt!!! Looking forward to riding from Departure Bay as it compares, somewhat, to yesterday's ride to Perranporth and beyond. Fondestos from Coriandre to you and one and all of your deer neighbours. Cheers!
Have
you ever heard of a lottery hat? At the upcoming Trivia Extravaganza,

Hello Madcap and Penelop
e!
Just had a quick call to Beata at Watford Europcar and everything is set to go! Thanks again! Looking forward to riding from Lower High Street there to Mill Hill Broadway as I'm sure terrain compares, somewhat, to yesterday's ride to Perranporth and beyond:

If not, I'll take a detour through Slough, if I still retain the will to live!
Fondestos from Cora Lee to you both. Cheers, Patrizzio, Mouse Potatoe, about to be shorn but unbowed!

Thanks for the update. What a wonderful trip you are having. Weather has been unreal this summer. Rained a bit the last few days, but it was welcome. Been doing some distance cataloguing and some editing as well. Gary and I are co-teaching a baseball history course this fall for the Cap University continuing education program. He has been in Ireland all summer. I am looking after his dog. Take care. We will expect a visit when you get back! Matt
Up at 6:30 am to call Canada.

At the very heart of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site sit two great beam engines, originally powered by high-pressure steam boilers introduced by local hero Richard Trevithick. Preserved in their towering engine houses, they are a reminder of Cornwall's days as a world-famous centre of industry, engineering and innovation. The pumping engine is one of the largest surviving Cornish beam engines in the world, and the restored winding engine can be seen in action daily.
- Extremely knowledgeable guides
- Working Cornish beam engine, not working, when we visited, unfortunately, electricl problem of some sort, not yet sorted out!
- Terrifically informative film

- Patrick James Dunn You know both your Mother and I would volunteer if we weren't going to be having so much fun in Italy and France at the time!
