Friday I did what I was going to do on Thursday, which was the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet in the morning, the Blue John Caverns in the afternoon & Aunt Marion & Uncle Lorrie in the evening. I was feeling better but when we met Jane at the caverns, SHE was feeling sick from a hangover. The night before was some wreath-on-church-spire ceremony in Castleton & pubs were open to 1 am.

Saturday I got ready to go in the morning, but Marjorie didn't arrive until about 1 o'clock, so I decided to stay another night & make an early start this morning. Goose arrived safely and all were flabergasted. I saw downtown Sheffield in the afternoon & walked the dogs in Ecclesaw Woods, then showed African slides in the evening.

Today I made an early start but just as I was passing the yacht club where we were last Monday, one of the spokes on the back wheel broke & the wheel went a bit wobbly. Anyway I managed to adjust it to be rideable and after a very difficult decision as to whether to go on or turn back, I went on after losing about an hour.
