Pootled over to Castle Acre to Nathan's favourite Ye Olde Worlde Tea Shoppe

I've been to Castle Acre, once, many moons ago. A pleasantly quaint little old village with a nice medieval arch, if I recall correctly. I had lunch at the Ostrich Inn. It wasn't all that good. Sounds like your teashop would have been just the ticket if I'd known about it.

Rode to work at 0600 and all of the city centre was being
barriered off for the all female "Race for Life", I could
cycle through the gaps though, so wasn't held up. On the
way back at 1500 the barriers were still there, this time
for the Hull City bus to take a lap of honour - still rode
around the barriers :-)

I went cycling with my dad (I act as his domestique) and a few of his pals, I think I lowered the average age of the bunch by about 30 years!

Anyway, one of the geezers on the ride was from Norway - he spoke excellent English - and was telling us about how he enjoys cycling in the snow with specially adapted snow-tyres on his bike!

Apart from the manky weather (it was like cycling through fog for the whole ride) the only downer was my seat pin coming loose during a small climb. My saddle canted backwards just as I sat back down and nearly caused me to do an impromptu "wheelie" - much to the amusement of the old guys (whom I strongly suspect loosened it in the first place in a moment of devilry).

Great fun. It's when you have ridden most of the way up
something very steep and slippery, then decided that this
is silly and you would be better off walking, only to find
that you can't stand up and so end up sliding down the hill
with the bike.

ho hum what fun!

The tea shop I used was at the other end of the street to
the Ostrich and on the opposite side of the road.
