The Sobriety of this Post is not Guaranteed

I'll tell what comprises a damned good dinner...

First, ride about 180 miles under fairly trying circumstances, more ofwhich later. Then, as seven pm looms as large as the hole in your stomach, purchase the following:

one small bottle of brandy
a pork chop(thick)
a tin of mushy peas
one cadburys wispa

Get the chop sizzling merrily in the messtin as you pour yourself a stiffish brandy and water. As you finish your sharpener, throw in the peas, making a bizzarrely delicious gravy with your steaming hot veg and chop. Devour at warp speed and wash down with a cup of tea laced with more brandy, which also nicely takes the edge off the wispa. Declare repeatedly that you are your best mate ever, before retiring to the luxury hovelette.

  1. Looks like you might have had a cosy night! Glad journey is going well. Maybe you could say at what point in Cornwall / UK you have arrived at so your avid Blog followers can pinpoint your location?!?!
    Not that we're keeping tabs on your progress or anything! ;-)
