A lovely sunny Sunday and what could be better than a ride over to Norfolk to visit friends who have recently swapped a one bedroom flat in the Barbican for four acres of land and an amazing rambling victorian house. I can’t remember the last time I said wow so many times (the photograph does not do it justice).

We talked about Brexit and the madness of the price of property in London and the rest of the country.

Garboldisham had 721 residents at the 2001 census. The ride today was good, particularly on the way back through Fordham avoiding the A14 whose tentacles firmly surround Cambridge. As ever, I am sad when every ride ends. My Hideout Leather jacket is good. I’m getting used to the close fit (I even need to remove my wristwatch for it to fit properly). I feel highly protected but for hot weather I would prefer something with more ventilation.
