Does your Brittany bike have a scabbard for baguettes or are you sufficiently assimilated to carry them in your sweaty armpit? I was riding a friend’s Tricross yesterday. Streetfighter’d with appallingly wide flat bars. A town weapon. 

I have a Tricross in Morocco. Was single speed but converted to a 5spd sturmey with bar end shifter.

The Brittany treader has a bottle cage that takes a non-halal bottle of wine.

As for baguettes, I buy the softest baked ones, this job takes all available energy and chewing a baguette de tradition is just too much for me.

Bolam's redoubt, Bastion Bolam where he'll make his last stand.

Or is this for 🥔 taters?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, shove 'em up yer bum?

Work has picked up nicely, a lot to do with the superb weather here I reckon. Still waiting for it to fall off a cliff, seem to have been saying that for years.

 

We had a dry winter after a dry autumn, water levels never recovered after last summer.

Micro digger next on the shopping list then?

[Mark Bolam]

Absolutely not!

 

I don’t mind a bit of digging for the amount I do, and this wouldn’t have been much quicker with loading and transport.

 

I would like to do more planting though.

 

A local oik has just started splattering the village FB group with his new 0.8t machine, stating that he is available for ‘tree stump removal’.

How long till it will be on its ribs?

[Mark Bolam]

First stump over about 6” I would think!
