No unfortunately no race Bob! Just sunshine and walking!

That sounds great ๐Ÿ˜ƒ G! I just love being able to run near the sea every morning. Have walks on the beach, visit Portsmouth and Chichester. This time we'll be celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. Next year we have plans for something a little more exciting. Probably a cruise.

Sounds good - we're there 2nd to 9th, and a five month old Springer Spaniel pup and a Shih Tzu cross will be a giveaway!!

My favourite (road) bike routes normally start with the ride to Grassington and a coffee stop...somehow it's always sunny, but I haven't been there much this year :-)

I donโ€™t know about that @jda

You seem to be taking away all my conquercise zones. You get over here more often than I get over to Settle.

Well if you do @Velociraptor please drop me a line. Would love to see you when you hear. And maybe a bit of a bike ride.

The festival work with Oxfam does sound good @XB a good way to get some new experiences without the expense. Though we only have a tent ..

We are off to France later today by train. Paris for a couple of nights, then the Alps to see friends, then Annecy for a week, then a few days undecided before returning to London for Bruce Springsteen at Wembley.

My wife got a big tax rebate in 2017 which we assumed was correct as she did move jobs a few times that year and know that mucks up tax. HMRC decided 2 months ago they want it back and we have now had to agree a repayment plan over 12 months

Now we have started to take 2 small DB pensions and one of those has been over taxed, but awaiting the 'payslip' before I query anything
