Ireland Motorcycling Day 2

I had some sausage and hashbrown, ie smashed up chips, for breakfast.  I had a look at the local beach, there were horse riding at the beach.

We set off for a ride.  It was a mountain ride.  The Cardo tracked my ride well. It was fun until we got a bit tired. The final stop, I got some local soft serve ice-cream.

I had a bath and more sausage and chips, whilst everyone was down at the restaurant waiting for their food.

Some of them were up for some board games, way past my bed time, so I passed.

Ireland Motorcycling Day 1

It was forecasted rain, and it came.  It sounded bad at the caravan, but it was actually very bad.

We woke up early.  We put on all our waterproof and rode down. In hindsight, we should have waited till the last minute.  We were drenched in that short 25 minute ride.  And there was no waiting room, so we stood in the rain for another hour.

We took off as much as we can when we got on the boat.  We slightly dried up when we disembark.

I was volunteered to lead the ride down.  We decided not to take the toll, so the city centre traffic jam had not been kind to us.

We stopped for a coffee and some cake, and by then, we decided we want to take the motorway to go straight down. 

When we got to the petrol station, we bumped into others, they said the on-site restaurant was not open, so I better get something.  I got sausages, chips and milk!

We settled in for the night and I had some sausage and chips. 

Ireland Motorcycling Day 0

I made my way to Anglesey the night before the sailing.  It was a long ride, and it was quite rainy, so it took a while.  I was tempted for a diversion of Welsh Food Centre, it was just about closing time when I arrive, so I just had a quick bite and a cup of tea.

We had some wood fire pizza by the coast, followed by some ice-cream.  They were okay.  The ice-cream was so hard that she cracked the cone, and I nearly dropped the whole thing, I caught it with my bare hand.

The caravan was fine, we were surrounded by cows.

Cardo Ride Walk On Water

I recorded a longer ride, except when it loses Internet, it also lost its position, so I appeared to be riding over body of water.

Repurposed Coat Hangaway

The hangaway portable coat stand has been consigned to the bin many years ago.  This year, we found a new purpose for it, umbrella stand. Not only the bottom half can be used as an umbrella stand, the top half too.  Another thing saved from the landfill.

Oversized Sunflower Sprouts

We have been eating the sunflower sprouts from last year's sunflower.  But some sprouts look different, or grown wrong, so I am letting them to have a second chance as a sunflower, since they didn't want to be eaten this round, by us.  They may still get eaten by creatures in the garden.

Riverside Festival 2026

I looked up my diary, we were at the Riverside Festival last in 2019, but I barely had any memory of it, maybe it was not very memorable.

This year we have seen more back bits of Leicester.  And the dragon boats are always a good laugh.
