I started yesterdays post by saying I was shattered but feeling good and ended by saying I might not be so good after my bike ride with Mr. Beecham today. Well we had our ride, about 26 miles on probably the windiest day this summer. Mr. B had promised the delights of a cycling cafe at the half way point which sounded good to me. A snack and drink would be good. Doing the sensible thing of cycling into the wind on the way out so that we would in effect get blown home we did get to the cafe having seen this interesting ex telephone box put to a new use...
...and after a slight detour to find a monument to an air crash involving a Lancaster and an Oxford aircraft.
The monument was certainly interesting and was a poignant reminder of the lives lost during WW2.
In the field behind the monument were some interesting creations. Made of a wire framework covered in something that looked like camouflage netting these really stood out.
Returning to the cafe for that snack and drink......it was Monday and closed! Brilliant! There was another cyclist there who we had an interesting chat with and he told us he was 73. We said goodbye to head off to a nearby (about 7 miles away!) shop for a drink and after two miles that cyclist we had met overtook us and left us for dust!
Anyway having got back to WMD HQ via the shop Mr. B had to shot off due to other commitments but I did get a chance to see some of his latest model creations. He certainly has been busy!
I was particularly taken by this Sd/Kfz222 which was an amazingly detailed model.
There was also this Chinese gun that caught my eye. Mr. B has a Chinese tank transporter for this to go on.
So to conclude, just like yesterday, I am shattered but feeling good!
