Happy St. David's Day (OK there's less than an hour left of it in the UK!) from the infrequent Welsh visitor! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you're wondering why there is a Kiwi, it's because my wife is from NZ! 🇳🇿

Let's hope March brings some better weather as despite us having +3 degrees C higher than average temperatures in February we have also experienced 2.5 times the average rainfall!!! There were only x2 days it didn't actually rain!

Mind you not long after taking this photo we had quite a heavy hailstorm! 🤣

Off to bed soon as up at 05:00am to go shopping for 06:00am on the cargo bike. Apparently it's going to be dry... Not sure I quite believe that! 😜
 
Also found this cool packet of crisps/chips in our loft/roof space. These are from 1980! :cool:😍

We use to shrink these in the oven and make keyring fobs from them... Gonna' save them and put them in a shadow frame along with all the other random shit I'll find whilst we renovate this crazy house!

Very British brand + Kenny Everett (radio DJ & TV comic) + Bovril flavour = uber cool! 👌

ThundrrrJr loves his Electra, but he's getting a little too tall, it's only got 20x3 tires and he's turning 13View attachment 825819
He asked me if I could it bigger. I went a little bit further View attachment 825820
He also asked if I could add a derailleur and rim brakes. I went, "Woah, slow down a little"

Back onto the subject of bikes, That's a nice transformation! I guess a hub gear would be easier/cleaner than a rear derailleur. God I hate spelling the word derailleur, you would have thought after decades of cycling I would be able to spell it in my sleep!
