InvictaMoto's On The Road Again!

Two days to go until we start the commemorations for the Battle of the Somme. The 1st July is in the history books as the worst day's casualties for the British Army. We are lucky to have tickets to attend the commemoration at the Ulster Tower. Even luckier that there is a train to the Shuttle buses from Amiens where we stay in the same hotel each year. This year Claire is coming.  I write this as I head home after work.  So far I have fitted the luggage on the bike, but it is all empty. Packing. We have to be smartly dressed and so jeans and bike gear won't do. So we have to pack stuff that means we won't stand out too much from the crowd.  Bikes are generally not good for this! So let's see how it goes?

Fun. Sometimes you have to make a prat of yourself.

Yesterday we made a picnic and packed the car and the three of us headed off for Sissinghurst.  We got about half way and the heavens opened. Torrential rain where the wipers could hardly cope. Once we turned around it started to hail. June and we have a hailstorm. So today we got ready, another picnic and off we went. Today the weather was much better. Mostly sunny but a few ominous looking clouds passed by. The car parks were pretty full and whilst Claire went into the gardens Reggie and I went around the periphery
