Coronavirus - Sunday 31st October 2021

M's remaing UC involvement was on Monday. On Tuesday me, Andy, Kelvin and Graham embarked on our autumn cycle ride, possibly the first since 2018. We got a train to Haslemere and then set off for the YH on the South Downs just north of Shoreham.
Outside Haslemere station
Andy had a few issues with his bike as his pedal kept falling off. In the end he had to get a taxi to take him to a cycle repair place in Billingshurst. We had lunch there and then continued to the YH. One bit of the route towards the end from Upper Beeding was uncyclable. This kind of scuppered our plans for the evening's entertainment so we ate in the YH. It was OK but if I'd made it I would have been right disappointed. On Wednesday we met up with Paul and Adrian, a couple of Andy's mates and did a circular ride Paul had arranged. We stopped for lunch at The White Horse in Ditchling. After that we cycled into Shoreham and had a couple of pints of Hophead in  really good pub called The Duke of Wellington. A serious bar billiards game was about to start which involved ironing the table.


Bought curry ready meals from a Waitrose and took them back to the YH. It was tricky to find a good routes back to Haslemere on Thursday so we got a train from Shoreham to Chichester and cycled back from there. Pretty good as far as Petersfield where we stopped for lunch but after that we tried to follow Sustrans route 22 which was challenging. In the end we bailed out and got the train from Liphook which is one stop before Haslemere. Got back about 6 and M filled me in on her UC adventures.
We've had a possible smile from Madeline before but I think this is a definite.
A bit of a lazy day on Friday. Same on Saturday but did put up some framed maps in the hall.Where's Madeline? Went to watch Reading lose 2 0 to undefeated Bournemouth in the evening. 8 pm KO as on Sky. Clocks went back on Sunday morning. Another lazy day. Editted an old video of when James was just a bit older than Madeline to send to him.Three generations of Eberlin girls.
