Grandson #5

No girls to buy frothy dresses for

Congratulations NC.
I've calculated based on the time we waited for our first grandchild that I will be 173 by the time I get to 5

Congrats to the family and all that .
A grandson is statistically more likely to become a biker than a grand-daughter would , so no bad thing .

[Beelady]

Congratulations! Wonderful news, no matter how many times it happens. He's awfully cute

Strangely, my son never really took to bikes.

Son & daughter both love cars.

Daughter though, used to ring me up at work, “are we going to [insert any bike meet] tonight?”

Plus, when I went to Ireland, she asked to come with me, even though she hadn’t been pillion since she married and moved to Germany.

And me! I have two brothers and although one also rides bikes I was the one hanging out with my Grandad, passing the spanners and being whizzed up and down the road sitting on the tank.

I do love that picture of you both. What wonderful memories that must bring back.

We had a wonderful time Bee.
It was only a long weekend, but lovely.

Dark Hedges
Giants Causeway
??? Rope bridge (nearly crapped myself- she was laughing)
Lovely pub/room

Then Dublin, followed by one of the wettest rides ever back from Hollyhead to York. So wet, I went the wrong (feckin) way on the M62 (I think), and ended up in Liverpool instead of heading to York

It was nearly as wet as Loomies.

She is also as good as me for minimal packing.

We once did Cornwall for 3 days. I told her, all our stuff had to fit in the topbox. No rucksacks.

Not a problem

I missed the rope bridge when we were there last, or was it year before. So annoyed as I wanted to cross it so much. Such a wonderful country for touring and sightseeing.
Finding it hard to believe 2 lady's can pack efficiently??????

My youngest is just about to do his direct access. He used to be a pizza delivery boy when he was still at school and has always loved bikes but never got round to doing his big bike test.
Maybe we can have a ride or two together, although I have a nasty feeling I should do the right thing and offer to give his ER5 back. I rather like that bike so I secretly hope he'll want something different.
