Image: On the way to Nianna's in Edinburg after meeting up with Clark in McAllen, couldn't resist taking this pic of the two bikers while we were at the traffic lights which seem to last a while on red, compared to UK traffic lights

 

 

 

16.04.24 – 107:76) Departure day, for The Valley I’m away

Dressed, car stowed, I’m on the road

Low speed limits than 75 I think “Yay” now let those miles roll away

Goin’s good then a detour a few miles more

No need for dismay, GPS tells me the way

Ozona for breakfast an’ then, I’m on the familiar I10

Goin’s good then is seen, the need for gasoline

I see some price looks fine three dollars nine

I think well bless, compared to the next one it’s 20 cents less

Fill up then run through San Antonio

GPS tells the way an’ I find, soon it’s behind

Drive goin’ fine 281 almost a straight line

Last coffee stop an’ it’s only a short hop

To Clarks where the welcome really went down

Sayin “The Rhymey Limey’s back in town”.

 

108:77) To Nianna’s where I shall dwell findin’ out Sooty’s* not well

Made me frown, vet had said “put her down”

Nianna said “damn the vet I ain’t givin’ up yet”

Over dinner with Amy we made a plan which included the Yorkshire Man

Then back to Nianna’s we head, an’ for me a welcoming’ bed

* Sooty is one of Nianna's seven cats, she is over 18 years old and a real charmer
