The Tour starts tomorrow with a lot of top men cyclists in the pack,

All of the race will be shown on ITV4 everyday,

On Friday after they leave Bury St Edmunds they come within a mile of my home,

So look out for an old git in a Town shirt cheering them on.

Did you get on the box Pete?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
Did you get on the box Pete?


Just watching the recording now KM so will tell you soon,

A freelance photographer saw my Harry Haddock and Town flag and came over for a chat,

He took a photo of my car with the flag and Harry, he said he was a Town fan,

When I asked him where to look out for the photo he said Holland and Belgium  

Also a copper in a car gave me a pip and big wave so he could have been a Town fan as well,

The quiet spot I found was also found by a few others,



The leaders was just approaching where I was parked and ITV 4 DECIDED TO GO FOR A BREAK !!!!!

Never mind.

Ah, best laid plans eh? I was watching the Ride London (or whatever the pro race was called) event on the box the other month and realised they weren't going through Richmond Park on the way back but were passing less than a mile away from here. Trouble is by the time we'd shot up the road we could see the peloton whizzing by in the distance and only got to see the stragglers who'd been dropped.

Maybe that copper was just a copper and thanking you as a Town fan for all the overtime you've earned him.
