What do others ride?

While walking down The Strip in Albufiera I shot these 2 photos of somebody's daily rider, not bad for a bike that is probably (like me) the wrong side of 50.

It appears to be a "daily rider".

A bit different from the British craving for high tech, gadget laden, crotch rockets - long may it continue.

Portugal & Pink

Between 5-June and 12-June Suzie & I enjoyed a week in Albufiera in the Portuguese Algarve. We were really impressed with how friendky the people were and how clean Portugal. The country is best described as Spain cleaned up and without the attitude that the Spanish have towards foreigners. I'll be posting a write-up of the holiday with photos on the family website in a day or so.

Last night Andy and Emma went to see Pink at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry - their verdict was that she's the best live artist they have seen with no miming and the sounds in the concert being just like her recordings.
