Tedbiker: Blog

The first chapter of a new stand-alone story is in the submission queue. Eight chapters, and I'll post alternate days, all being well.

I like my bike. I like riding my bike. I've not ridden him for a few weeks (until today) for various reasons, 'til today... lovely day, dry, not freezing. Time for a visit to the Yorkshire Air Museum.
Doing great until four miles from the museum.
Then hit a patch of oil on a tight left-hand bend. The first time I've dropped a bike in over forty years. The title? The one thing I've always feared when riding is to lose traction on the back wheel on a corner.
Result? Slightly bent footrest and holes in the left leg of my oversuit. Amazingly, nothing serious, though I'll be pretty stiff tomorrow, I think. Poor Oscar, Poor Ted.
Anyway, now well into the seventh chapter of a new story...

I have worked out how to add photos and the moderator didn't delete any I offered, so the story now has the principal illustrations I intended. I do still have some photos I took at Metheringham, though the interior ones at the visitors' centre are darker than I like. As before, an email address will get you copies.

It's been a while, but I'm ready to start posting a new Jenni story, 'Norma'. Six chapters in this one, posted alternate days.

I finally managed to visit the grave of P/O J.G. Magee, as well as a couple of other memorials of interest. My original text includes photos, but for some reason I've been unable to persuade my office suite to include them in the HTML version.
I'll be happy to respond to any requests for copies of the photos to anyone sending a valid email address, or the file of my original document in either .odt or .doc.
