I am currently sitting in a Worthing hotel on the south coast. I've spent a week with my sister, seen nephews and niece and am about to visit an elderly aunt before I make the return trip home tomorrow. Last week with family was fun and gossipy but exhausting. I left the Croydon area at 10 yesterday morning and drove along with thousands of bikers down the A23/M23 towards Brighton. Apart from the sheer numbers of Bikers involved they all rode in a very considerate manner to other road users. I didn't realise how many differnt types and personal decorations one is able to get in the motor cycle world. Our builder who lives in Sidmouth is a biker. I kept expecting to meet him there. I didn't realise just how big an event it was until I checked the web. http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/Continental-Run-Info.aspx

I then enjoyed a quiet night in the hotel watching tv, reading and checking emails. I slept like a log for over 8 hours.

Were you on a motorbike?
In my black leathers you mean looking like a Michelin Woman?!-No!!
The observant and techno readers will observe that I've not mastered the drag and drop on the laptop touchpad. Hence the clumsy link. I packed clothes for hot weather, cold weather and wet weather and I threw in the kitchen sink too - but i decided to travel light and left my mini mouse at home!
I have an aunt who lives in Worthing!
Amazing about the bikers!
I had a supervisor who was a biker and she was the sweetest, nicest person ever.
So it just goes to show!
:)
Well, I for one would love to see you in black leathers. So much sex-appeal but never a photo - not since the one you posed for a few years ago beside your new car. ;-)
Oh, lucky you! Enjoy your time there. Sorry you got tangled up with the bikers!
Devon is waiting for you - still beautiful. In fact, the sun is shining at the moment!
Medrrimerri - isn't life strange - what a coincidence.
St Billy - don't tell anyone but that's me lifting the weights in my post of 28th August "http://sidmouth-town.blogspot.com/2008/08/good-reasons-to-have-children.html"
Good to hear from you Maggie May and you too AMKT.
My husband and I used to be bikers - we had a HONDA Goldwing (a touring bike) - it was great fun. We are the epitamy of genteel Sidmouth folk - so it just goes to show that one should never jump to consclusions! LOL!
Hope you're having a great break.
Penny, where the hell are you, woman? Not still sitting in that Worthing hotel, I hope? Spare a thought for your friends and fans, and post a little something now and again, eh?
You came to Croydon? You went down the A23? You came within inches of me Lady T! You must have seen me along the road in my van... Rather grubby cheerful sort of woman.. No?
I am desolated!!
;-)
Merryw - I intend to do at least a couple of trips to Croydon next year - after all I must get to see all my relatives during my 60th birthday year. I promise to get in touch via email to see if we can connect up - especially now I know you are 'rather grubby' as well as cheerful - I wont feel obliged to dress up! 8-) x
