Got out for our second ride of 2025. The weather here is a bit like the UK - gales, thunderstorms, hail and even snow on high ground - and this is our summer! So with the sun shining this morning, and the wind below gale force we had a ride up country for lunch and a cruise round some of our favourite country roads.

About to head down to themx5restorer, thinking I’ll stick to Aroads rather than my usual country lanes route

Poor old car hadn’t moved for two weeks… so I took it out of the garage for a very short drive round the block. The tucked it up in the garage again, connected to the trickle charger. Don’t know if the car enjoyed its brief moment of freedom, but I certainly did!

In a shootout between peanut butter brands in the weekend paper; Aldi’s came second and was cheap.
Some very demanding road between Helston and Cambourne( nearest Aldi) but only two passing places in eight miles realistically. So, you either frighten yourself or grind your teeth behind slower traffic.
Standout surprise after finally getting past a double decker was being stuck behind an old Land Rover. Possibly one owner for fifty years sort of jobby, never washed and bits of straw trapped in the tailgate sort of thingy.
Okay, four wheel drive, but that thing was tall and no suspension that I could discern but did that thing go around corners. I kept expecting it to suddenly disappear though a hedge when the tyres let go. It was a pleasure to follow….
