Favour returned

 Yesterday we went to Cathkin Braes on the south side of Glasgow, to help our Fife friend when he raced there. Pirate's job was handing up drink bottles, as it was hit and dusty.

I took a few photos...

Like they say..it's not just about the riders!!...

There was racing all day, from 8 year olds to the Super grand veterans of 60+...a real family day out...and to one side was a BMX track. Also enjoyed by all ages!

From there being so high up, you could see across Glasgow to the Campsite Fells...with the velodrome in the middle!

Preparations and visitations

The Wizzard Geek and his Rose are visiting, and it is good to see them.
He helped us move almost a year ago, but she hasn't seen our 'new' home as she had to be elsewhere at the time.

They have been mountain biking near Peebles for four days, now near Newton Stewart for a day and somewhere on the way home tomorrow.  Great fun for them.

Preparations go on steadily for our NZ travels.  A certain amount has to be done online and I don't like it...I'm really a pen and paper person.  I just about manage phoning, but online entries and bookings phase me.

I'm sewing Woodchip's cot quilt whenever I sit down...that should at least have the construction done before we go, if not the quilting.  It calms my frazzled nerves if nothing else!
