How on earth did I miss this one, apart from getting no notification that is 😔 What a lovely day for an explore and a revisit to familiar seaside. It's a pity tech gremlins tried to put a spanner in the works but where there's a will there's a way. My son passed his CBT today after a long wait ( had to get his passport first to use as id for his provisional), now he just needs to sort out insurance for his KTM Duke 125 then the fun can begin 😁😊

Oh the notifications seem rather unreliable. Thank you for coming back to it though 🙏🏻 Yes it was a lovely day to be out and about. Yes, shame about her microphone. Even worse, the next time we went out I forgot her camera 🤦🏻♂️ Ahh yeah!!! Congratulations to your son. Good times ahead no doubt. I have an old ER-5 in the garage. I told my son he can have it if he wants to do his bike test - not interested 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks Mr Wolf, have fun and take care up there 👍🏼
