New begginings

My party at The Ace was really good, 30 people and everyone enjoyed it!! I was very lucky with the weather, after a week of English Summer weather, Friday night was perfect for biking, so the Ace was packed. Steve came with little Steve and Stan, they were 3 hours in traffic... It was a great night. Saturday I went mad and bought half of Windsor!! But its the last chance. For the last time I went for a ride out with Nick and Simon to Newlands Corner and then, totally what of the blue, Jochen proposed while we walked for the last time at Sunningdale Golf Course!!! I was totally surprised and I knew he would do it somewhere, somehow, that I was not expecting. He said he did there and then because he could see how special England in Spring is for me and he was right to wait for that moment. We even had a puppy Labrador run up to us and sat down looking at him while he went on his knee!! All in all a great moment.

Flat...

The VTR has a flat tyre... manage to get a mobile tyre crew, GS tyres, to come and sort it out. Pat's advice, that as a true pike, knows where to find the right people at the right price! And he is ok with being one, so no offence there;)) Today is the procession for Steve Lilleys funeral. I will be there with the shop staff and friends and family. Its raining a bit, but should improve so we don't do all of it in the rain.
Only 3 weeks now!! I am having difficulty sleeping, so many things dancing in my head; what I have to do there, what I have to do here, what I have to do in Portugal... No point thinking too much, every journey starts with the first step and every mountain can be climbed, 1 meter at a time!!
