23rd Jun 2025MOBDAY 23rd June
A lovely sunny morning, though perhaps a bit cooler than of late, here in Ulverston.
I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend.
I only worked until midday on Saturday then et off for Barrow to my friend's house in Abbey Road.. There were several other friends gathered for a super BBQ and to watch the cavalcade of motorcycles as it was "DAVE'S DAY". I am sure there were even more kikes than last year when the toatal was goven as 41,000. The atmosphere was lovely. The leading bikes came through about 2.45 and the e.p parade of bikes continued till 4.45!!! The shower of rain did not deter any of them or the crowds of onlookers who were lining teh route.
Afterwards, we got dressed and went into town to Francescas Italian for a meal and then to the Labour Club! A great day out!
I stayed overningt and then oln Sjunday morning came back to Ulverston. Out for Cocktails@5, firstly to the Capitola as there was ssome live music on and then to teh Farmers and then back to the Capotola.
A busy couple of days?

21st Jun 2025SATURDAY 23rd June
Another lovely, warm, and sunny day in Ulversrton! There is the possibility of a sudden thunderstorm according to the Met Office. That's not what we want as it is "Daves Day" with thousands of bikers coming through Ulverston at about 3 on the way to Barrow. It will be a terrific sight to see. There has already been a video on Facebook showing the convoy on the M6. Every available space on teh route through Ulveston to Barrow will be crowded with eager onlookers.. And I will be amongst them! HOw many buikers will there be? Who knows? more than last year? Not so many? Anypnes guess.
There was a momentous decision in Parliament yesterday as teh Assisted Dying bill got through on a very slim majority. It's an extremely emotive issue. It now has to go to the House of Lords for their consideration. It is expected to be some tyears before it actually becomes law.
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay calm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER! Conquer evil with kindness1

What a change in the weather! Wet and chilly here in Ulverston but gloriously sunny in Ascot, juist perfect for the first day of racing!!
I had a nice day yesterday, the town was exceptionally quietfor some reason.
The troubles in teh Middle East are getting worse. Iran v Israel with missiles being sent in both directions and innocent people being killed. And the dreadful conflict is continuing in Gaza. And the Ukraine-Russian war continues too. What is wrong with the world today?
Stay Safe! Stay Alet! Stay Clm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION!
