Happy Bunny, something to cheer about at long last

For those who do follow my words you will no doubt be wondering what has been happening, no scribbling for ages !!
However,  today, after seven months the Steed of Steel (K75RT) has returned home, new front forks, brakes, and petrol tank.   I know there are times when the saying “beyond econaomical repair”  means just that,  but there are times when a wee bit faith and expertise overcomes all.  So now, back on the road on the Steed nd RGB can have a go on the 1150 RT at long last.

In the meantime, we have been away on our travels, six of us headed off on the Fred Olsen ship, MV Balmoral, sailed from Rosyth and during following two weeks passed through the Kiel Canal,  to Copenhagen, saw the wee mermaid, the Royal Yacht, And had a good walk about.  next stop the lovely city of Tallin, beautiful, and well worth a visit,    Next stop St Petersburg where the World Vup football was taking place in the new stadium there.   City was heaving with both tourists and football supporters,  too busy and vey hot,  but certainly some stunning buildings to see.   We had to make do with a coach tour on the first day and a trip along the coast of the Gulf of Finland, sea was just a tad nippy for swimming.     Onwards to Stockholm where we visited the ABBA museum, quite an experience and very busy.    next stop Gothenburg (it was raining),   And finally Oslo ( lovely city). Before our final trip back over the North Sea, Force 7 gale did not make for a happy day, spent in bed so a wasted day for most of the passengers and a lot of the crew.
The Ship was excellent, loved every minute of it apart from the Gale,   Food, drink, staff, service,etc, just  the business.  Would have no hesitation in recommending this smaller ship to anyone, hidden bonus, (no children) .   Our group, theee Ann’s, William, Sandra and self,  were kind o9”f notorious, the G&T Brigade, staff knew our room numbers off by heart and the young singers and dancers looked forward to our support during the evening shows. Lots of photos but no idea how to get them into the blog on this I pad,   Not a problem on the other lap top. Cheers

back home and still all go, lots of work to do in the garden, dug up the old decking which was becoming dangerous in the wet, so the area now paved and new trellis fencing erected.   Still at it as we speak, a regular at Beatson,s the builders merchants, and Screwdix ( nice new Titan hammer drill, and several other bits and bobs!!!  Toys for the boys),
