Traitor!

At least that's what my three think of me.

On Saturday we were in South Wales, as Nathan was riding an event (round
2 of Rudy Project time trial series). Whilst in the Welsh Valleys we
went to see Vernon's daughter and her parter. They have a cat: Charlie.
Charlie is an absolutely sweet and entirely mad black & white boy cat of
about 18 months old. So when we got back to deepest rural Norfolk,
there was mucho sniffing by felines and looks of *disgust* that spoke
volumes... "We *know* you've been making a fuss of a strange cat...."

I am forgiven, though, as Waffles brought me a vole yesterday.

Nathan won the time trial :-)


Concatulations Nathan. Well done! Wish I could help you on the cat
thing, but my crew think I'm a traitor if I pet one of the other cats in
this house. The jealousy thing gets a little crazy sometimes.

Yesterday when I came home, I held out my hands to the cats to sniff, as
always. But they kept sniffing for a long time - finally I remembered
that I'd petted the dog next door on my way in.

It's so funny - if I pet animals from far away, they don't seem to care.
But if I pet a neighborhood animal, they can't get enough sniffing.

Anywhere near your neck of the woods then? How hilly is it?? Will I have to
stand behind Nathan & give him a good thrashing to get up the hill??

Nathan in full-flow on his bike at the Rudy Project round 2

He looks like he's doing a Quasimodo impersonation as he's got a Camelbak on
under his skinsuit so he can keep hydrated round the course

Lucky you! It's gorgeous round there. Quite hilly.... All Phil's family
come from the Tavistock area for generations back. If you want somewhere
to have a really nice pub meal, go to the Blacksmith's Arms in Lamerton.
Their steaks are *the* best I have ever eaten, (and that includes some
gorgeous, soft-pillow type steaks I had in the USA once.) Alternatively,
get some Cornish (or Devon) pasties from a baker in Tavistock and eat
them while sitting in the town square. Nearly as nice :-)

Name of pub noted. We are travelling down the day before to stay in a B&B
somewhere.... so the pub may well come in handy for the evening meal :-)
Mind you, the night before an event Nathan carbo-loads with a bucketload of
pasta...

I am sure they do other things as well as the sumptuous steaks.... When
we go to Tavistock we stay at April Cottage:
http://www.s-h-systems.co.uk/a10162.html

A very cosy, traditional stone cottage, friendly owners, very convenient
(2 mins walk) from Tavistock town centre. Nice breakfasts too. Just
FWIW, no connection other than happy customer, etc. :-) it is on a
fairly main road though.

That's what I like to see. A non-smoking establishment. :-)
