Having my Ribble fitted again. Clive aka the Bikefitta is going to put some new, smaller drops on her. Hopefully will sort my back problems.

We got some caterpillars through the post. Weeks later, they emerged as gorgeous butterflies. Yesterday we let them go in the garden.

We had a bostin’ time at the Black Country Museum. On the way there we drove through down-town Dudley and Roo asked why everything was so dirty.

We went to Sutton Park. I haven’t been here and played cricket with my dad since 1994. It was a lovely trip down memory lane.
Roo looks up at me, wondering why I've climbed this tree

It’s been lovely to see my mom and dad after nearly 6 months of lockdown. My dad and I went for a walk along the new Brownhills clear way (what we used to call the “batters”), an incredible transformation of the Brownhills railway. Have a look at Back the track.
What I consider an "arty" shot of the old railway track with my dad in the middle distance 
Some graffiti reads "Amazon", presumably in a tribute to the online store

I made a swing for Roo in my parents’ garden.

Mom and dad have a flat roof. When I was a kid, I loved climbing out of the window and sitting on the roof. Roo wasn’t so sure, but she did love locking me out once she was back in the house!
Katie tries to convince Roo to come in off the roof
