Nectar Pizza

I tried a new Epic pizza using a Nectar voucher.   When a lot of elements in a pizza are flavoursome,  everything is just lost.   The pulled chicken is crispy like meat flosses.  The dough is good.

I am very happy with the value with Nectar.  Next one I will opt for something less complex.

Backup Camera S4

Not only my camera was falling bits, the XD card was full!  So I pulled out the S4, and it stepped up to the plate.  The panoramic function being standard to the phone was quite good, the picture quality was quite good.  I must use it more often!

Battered Old Digital Camera

I probably has this digital camera since 2004. This weekend it decides to fall into bits. It still works, just no lens cover... I will hang onto this a little longer before sending it to pasture...

Richmond on Swale

If you search Richmond, result returned is likely to be London. 

We briefly visited Richmond when Ninny was around.  I was not impressed by just another Yorkshire town.

This time I made sure I tick off everything.  I already visited the main street with cobbles, and I confirmed the museum is not free.

I made the right choice to park by the river, away from the cobble street, away from the rowdy kids at the fair on main street.  The water fall was okay, I did not bother to walk down, especially with my motorcycle boots.


Easby Abbey is very nice.


Richmond Castle was actually quite impressive, nice views both of the castle and from the castle.

Bike Boots are not for Hiking

I took the opportunity to visit as many EH locations as I can in Northumberland.

So I followed the instruction to park at Craster and walk to Dunstanburgh Castle.  I swore it was more than 1 mile away.  It was made worse because of the wind and the incorrect equipment, eg motorcycle boots.  

Luckily they soda was on sale, I managed to down two!

I went up to the tower, it was extra windy!  And a boy was so afraid of height that he threw up!


I came back exhausted.  Maybe I should not have persisted!

English Curry in the North

So there is English curry, and we ordered a take away, and the curry was more English than other English curries I previously had.

There were no kick to my Biryani, neither was the accompanying chickpea curry and there was an egg!  How strange!

Booze Shopping on Bike

So the biker wanted booze, and I was the only sober one.  And for the first time, the top box has served the crew.  I took Simon with me, and with everyone's order, we still only half filled Flint's top box!
