It is a wonder we are not in your picture sat at one of the tables! Do you remember how it used to be with more books than cafe when they first opened? I do miss the larger variety of books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-44568840286773718152013-04-23T14:13:38.488+01:002013-04-23T14:13:38.488+01:00I got on a bike last Autumn for the first time in ...I got on a bike last Autumn for the first time in years..with great trepidation.They say once you can ride you always remember,but I wasn't so sure.Well after a shakey start...I did!

Plus they make the scenery far more interesting, I'd be bored somewhere completely flat. Having said that, I wouldn't want too many hills, cycling somewhere like Cornwall where it's just one (admittedly not very high, but they can be steep) hill after another would get rather tiring...andamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338225798888415276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-21666985995460557562013-04-15T20:05:36.866+01:002013-04-15T20:05:36.866+01:00Well done you on the long bike ride, the cafe is o...Well done you on the long bike ride, the cafe is on my hit list of places to visit!<br /><br />Vanessa x Just Originalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013207391078127169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-75319735828826925342013-04-15T19:57:09.887+01:002013-04-15T19:57:09.887+01:00Gosh you are brave Steph - but what a wonderful wa...Gosh you are brave Steph - but what a wonderful way to spend time with friends.<br /><br />Nina x...Nina Nixon...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09778168901706224335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-67412685998532219952013-04-15T15:11:10.853+01:002013-04-15T15:11:10.853+01:00Thank you for giving this city dweller a tremendou...Thank you for giving this city dweller a tremendously fun day outside in the country!<br /><br />What a marvelous way to get together for a catch up with friends. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-50539110233899914562013-04-15T11:44:29.684+01:002013-04-15T11:44:29.684+01:00What a great place for a bike ride with a cafe sto...What a great place for a bike ride with a cafe stop halfway along!sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-48910520643566132372013-04-15T09:27:09.719+01:002013-04-15T09:27:09.719+01:00I've been reading your blog for years, dating ...I've been reading your blog for years, dating back to the days when I dreamed of living in England. Now that I do, I love being able to appreciate your adventures in different way, recognising the names of places that used to just be mysterious magic words :) The Peak District is my favourite part of the UK, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of visiting!<br />xandra ★Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313497364071478706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-79446519976362625542013-04-14T20:56:02.775+01:002013-04-14T20:56:02.775+01:00We went on holiday near here a couple of years ago...We went on holiday near here a couple of years ago and husband and older son cycled some of the trail while I walked with younger son and dog.

I've also just recently taken up cycling and can't wait for the weather to improve to get cycling again. I could see an improvement in my fitness levels while enjoying the scenery at the same time. Happy cycling!

And lots of very busy roads where you'd take your life in your hands riding a bike. Still, I really ought to get out more on mine. I used to cycle everywhere, and just got out of the habit.dottycookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295592896941235130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-66123107218973613572013-04-14T17:41:20.399+01:002013-04-14T17:41:20.399+01:00What a lovely part of the country you live in, alt...What a lovely part of the country you live in, although for cycling I think I would prefer Holland - I jus don't do hills which can be very limiting.
