Delightful Musical Discovery on My Orange Brompton

Last Friday, I embarked upon a ride on my trusty Orange Superlight, a bicycle that rarely fails to bring a smile to my face. As I pedalled through the bustling streets of London, I decided to take a brief stop near the iconic St Mary Le Bow church in Cheapside to check my phone for a message I was expecting. It was here that I had a delightful encounter with a gentleman who was intrigued by my Brompton. We struck up a conversation, and to my surprise, he mentioned that there was a lunchtime concert happening within the church in about 20 minutes or so.

A Midnight Brompton Adventure: less than two weeks away.

The nocturnal ride season is almost upon us, and if you’ve been following my escapades, you’ll know I have a soft spot for the odd night ride - especially those that whisk me away to the coast. In less than two weeks, I shall be dusting off one of my trusty Brompton and pedalling off into the night!

Back again this Sunday.

I sadly missed one Sunday posting for lots of technical issues that I will not bother you with. It got to the point where I was seriously considering throwing in the towel. All seems to be resolved and I hope normal service will be resumed. So, see you on Sunday, 22nd March. 

Until then, stay safe out there people.

P G Wodehouse locations seen on a Brompton

It is no secret that I am a bit of a PG Wodehouse fan. I bought one of his books at a church jumble sale when I was quite young and was soon drawn into the world of - for me at least - his best creation, Bertie Wooster. Bertie! The epitome of a well-meaning but hopelessly inept young man, forever entangled in matrimonial mishaps and impractical bets.

Now this blog post is nothing to do with Brompton bicycles or cycling. Regular readers will know that I do like the odd fountain pen. So, this blog post is about that. I quite understand if it is not for you though.
