So why this page so empty? Well I have to confess that I have been a lot busier than normal this summer. Was I off riding my SV?

Nope!

I spent most of this summer working on the house. We had the builders in half way through May and they didn't finish till August. My wife suffers from MS and as the years have drifted by her condition has deteriated, to the point were we were faced with some big decisions, move home or adapt the current one. We opted to adapt. So we now have a new extension on the house which gives us a downstairs bedroom and an on-suite wetroom. Sounds wonderful doesn't it, but it's cost me a packet which means I'll be working for a few more years to pay for it. We also lost a dining room in the process. Of course builders only do the basics, so once they moved out I was spending any spare time decorating, and there was a lot of painting.

My SV has also suffered from neglect. It's covered in road grime and is desperate for a bit of TLC. It's my next job.

So this page is just a placeholder for anyone wandering onto it. I'll now go and build the Autumn 2010 page. Hopefully I'll get more onto that.
