Hey, this is the week for cyclists!!

Well, where do I begin?!! We have had a wonderful week so far, and, more to come! Last night we had a lovely couple from Abingdon staying over-night as part of their break-away. They were cycling along the Kennet and Avon Canal but also wandering off the track to have a good look around. They seemed to be really enjoying themselves and made me feel envious of their freedom, fitness and experience - Peter and I must get planning - first we need to get fit!!

I am hoping that if they get the chance they will let us know about their experience. What they found the most difficult part of the journey maybe or, the most beautiful places etc. Would they do it again or, where they may plan to go next. I would be delighted to hear from any of our guests.

I am new to this blogging malarkey and thinking of becoming a twitter?? Is that correct?? Now, please be polite!! I may be able to read your mind(s?).

The night before last (Monday), we had two Dads and their two sons stay over as part of their cycling holiday. We were their first stop as they were starting in Reading. Unfortunately, it hadnt occurred to me that they would want to eat in the Wheatsheaf next door, and so had to disappoint them by telling them that they do not do food on a Monday at all. I felt really embarrassed and they must have been miffed to say the least but, they did not show it!! I offered to take them into Hungerford and pick them up later. Explaining that this is something that we are happy to do for guests who either do not have transport or, have done enough for one day!!

The boys enjoyed pizzas at Casanovas but, not before the Dads supped a good pint at the Plume!! They decided to walk back. Which reminds me that I must go out and buy some suitable torches for guests to borrow.

If there is anybody out there reading this and interested in cycling why not put questions on my blog and maybe, just maybe someone will be able to answer you queries!!! And I would be delighted too!!

Tomorrow we have more intrepid explorers arriving!!! Hmmm cannot wait to meet them. Hope the weather stays good for them too. It has been brilliant today.
