Glamping in Leicestershire

I always associate glamping locations with national parks, but clearly as long as the land owner makes an effort, glamping can you anywhere.

We went to Syston, there was space, animals, a wood burning stove, BBQ, hammock, canoe, apart from poor sleeps, it was fun.

Potatoes Week

I got a lot of marked down potatoes.  I am quite bored with hash brown and baked potatoes already!  Another 2kg to go!

New Tennis Season

I have been using my Slazenger racket for 9 years, and still like it.  Then I thought I would play with Carol's Z-Lite.  I played with it a few times, and I did not like it.  But this season, I am enjoying playing with the Z-Lite.  I put it down to change in playing style and fitness level.  Hope just hope I can get rid of the surplus rackets and get some balls!

Tennis Tuesday

So I was curious about the tennis session with coach on Tuesday, so I signed up.  On meetup.com it did not advertised as charged event.  Anyway, it was very elementary.  As it turns out, it is part of Tennis Tuesday, and they laid a bait!  As it is sponsored by Nike, there are Nike goodies up for grabs, and I am still debating if I should take the bait.  Sarah is not questioning the baits, rather the potential non-delivery of the baits.

Yellow Fluff Day

The Sun is shining and the tennis rackets saw the daylight again.  I was wearing a fleece and I got yellow fluff everywhere!  I do like playing tennis.  I need to remember that.

Motorcycle Gear Spring

Ruth is interested in learning motorcycle and I am prepared to lend her some of my clothing. 


Motorcycle gear rarely get washed, people with dead flies from decades ago still stuck on their leather.  I gave one of the jacket a clean, then one thing leads to another, I washed another jacket, the gloves, the cheek pads, etc.  They do needed a clean!

Robin Hood's Bay Power Loss

We took the long route to Robin Hood's Bay.  We drove into the weather, and the dramatic North Sea.



We were tired and hungry, but as soon as we stopped, we were informed they were experiencing a power loss, so we had to go elsewhere!
