Memento Mori
I just read an article about latin phrases, and memento mori drew my attention. Then I looked it up, my stoic tendency must have drawn me to it. Let me add that to my catalogue.

Video et Taceo
Video et Taceo is said to be one of Queen Elizabeth I's mottoes. I have been using it for the last 20 years ago, but I only just found out I have not blogged about it here. I must have blogged it back in Yahoo.

Slippery Wimbledon Grass
If you don't want to slip playing tennis, don't play on grass.

Taste of Travels
In additional the Balmoral bread and the cheese, I also got some honey and heather smoked trout all the way from Ullapool.
The bread was soft and sweet, a bit brown and malty.
The trout was very smoky.
Sarah appreciated the cheeses.

Scottish GBMCC Grand Tour: Day 9 Home
When I am so near home, my homing instinct was so strong, I was the second one leaving the B&B, which was good, Gwilym volunteered to walked me through the gravel!
I made one final stop before riding home, I stopped at one of the farm shops, picked up some cheese on my way home. On familiar territory, I was comfortable with the tyres, they definitely feel good on the dry.
I got home fairly early, which was essential, as I had all the unpacking, all the gardening, etc. I even took a covid test, to make sure I am keeping my colleagues safe.

Scottish GBMCC Grand Tour: Day 8 Appleby in Westmorland
It was going to be a long day of driving, with full lugguage, I was not planning many stops. But before I left, I picked up a loaf of Balmoral Bread from Byron, formerly known as Chalmers.
Just when I made to the bottom of the Cairngorms, Flint was playing up, I had to stop and called AA. Gabriel saw me and joined me for a coffee.
The AA came within an hour, and got me going in 45 minutes, so that pushed my lunch to 3pm! I stopped by St Mary's Loch which is very nice. It was so nice that I told Sarah we should go camping!
When I got there, I was still the first biker there!
