Good evening. It’s been a while - life got a bit busy so I may have to do some catching up… anything of note I should look back upon.

 

Busy life? Since I was last here I seem to have acquired two grandchildren, moved house (not mine, one of the kids moved house on the same day as she was having child - long story - so my OH and I ended up doing the move for her.

 

I’m currently sitting in a hotel in the French Alps after riding down over the last couple of days. We’ll be touring for another ten days before returning. Sod’s law, the weather forecast is for continuous rain. Bugger.

Yep - Not one slide/skid experienced (mind you, I did not 'push it' too hard).

Between holidays, work and decorating, this is the longest I have gone without riding my bike since I started biking.

@onesea I had similar with this. We ordered it in beginning of August and has taken until now. Also he was going to charge today's prices which are £70 more than what it was when we ordered it!! 

 

To be fair he realised and charged right amount. He said if I need more he can't fit me in until January! With energy costs rising more and more are buying it I guess, apparently, around here at least, there is a 3 month waiting list on Stoves and fitting

@Tiggieyup rush before they are banned luckily  up here all our trees fell down and log guys have too many.

Someone was telling me they couldn't sell cut trees for firewood as the wood needed to be kiln dried. Seemed a bit mad to me, as any wood stood for two years will be bone dry.

Isn't that something to do with the smoke from damp wood being a very bad thing? 

[Tiggie]

From last year they stopped the selling of wet wood. You can only buy Kiln dried or seasoned logs now. 

 

Wet wood being anything with over 20% moisture I think.
