Great day in Bath 25 June

All UK is still unsure what happened. The guy at the next table is still confused about what it means but he us still going to Greece in 2 weeks to get married. Why? "She wanted to". Are you Greek no my Grandfather wash Polish. I a m a contract Roofer working at the University replacing the roof. Anyway I had a big day. Brekky at Sally greasy spoon. Full English 6 pounds and no sign of an increase in the value of the Kiwi yet. So I went down from the village I was staying in High Littleton. Parked the bike at the Globe in Newton St Loe and rose the cycle on the Bristol Bath then the Toe Path to Bradfield on Avon. It didn't rain much but it totally hosed down thunder and lightening etc about 5 minutes after I got back to the Globe. And now having had a beer a WI e and a meal the sun is out and I can return to High Littelton dry. I hope. What a grand day. I totally enjoyed the whole thing even watching a few overs of cricket at the local ground in Bradfield on Avon. Poor wicket but it had been raining so as they say the outfield was slow. Bath is a rather attractive city. Lots of people friendly aspects. Had a walk through the Abbey which has had more facelifts than Joan Collins. It is not an ancient Abbey but it was built and rebuilt many times. That Abbey is a testament to what Britain is about even if it uses Polish tradesmen. If it regains that sense of this is who we are no problem but if it becomes fractionalised it will be lost. I did way to the two F116 fighter planes of the UK Airforce supplied by the USA. So who will win Brexit it will take a leader of Churchills strength to pull this off. I recall standing on the Railway line in Hammersmith as he passed, in his coffin on his way to his burial plot. There were thousands of people standing by the railway line. How odd. But England might need this sort of leadership again. So a cracker day. Tomorow I can perhaps visit Wells and hear the organ play. There is a Cathedral there and they play the organ and sing. That would be pretty good. But I have some washing to do as my canal side cycleway was wet and sometimes muddy. What a good day...so far. The "local" pub had about 12 dogs in it last night. Let's see what to ight brings so time to get up the road. Put my cycle on my bike and go.
